A DIRECT READING PEN-DOSIMETER WITH RADIATION ELEMENT (in German)
All direct reading dosimeters used in practice operate electrically. The most common instrument of this type is the ionization chamber. For high doses radiation damages of the dielectricum occur, especially if condensors are used. High dose rates cannot be measured quantitatively. The advantage of the semirad, developed by the US Signal Corps, is the ability of measuring the highest dose rates at present attainable as well as high doses quantitatively. In contrast to the discharging dosimeters, the dosimeter with radiation element (self charging dosimeter, nuclear battery''), described, has some further advantages: since no auxiliary supply is needed, it is continuously able to measure at any moment for a long time. The error of the measurement due to the leakage is much lower than that of the discharging dosimeters. The dosimeter with radiation element contains a special control unit, so its reliability is also greater. (auth)
