Energetic radiation produces in glass of a given chemical composition optically detectable modifications that can be used for the measurement of the adsorbed dose. The properties of such a dosimeter are described. For low dose ranges from 10 to about 10,000 rad, a silver-activated phosphate glass was used and a cobalt-activated borosilicate glass for higher radiation doses. The relative sensitivity of the phosphate glass depends on the effective radiation energy. The shielding to prevent such energy dependence is discussed. The absorption coefficient of the borosilicate glass depends on the radiation dose, and the coefficient is a measurement of the dose. At 100,000 rad there is no fading in the glass dosimeter.
