GAMMA RADIATION DOSIMETER

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4745907

A small colorimetric dosimeter of the glass-dye type is described for use in the range 10/sup 7/ to 10/sup 9/ ergs/g. The dosimeter comprises a porous, cellular silica matrix containing a radiation-sensitive dye within its pores. The matrix has a density of approximates 1.45 and a developed surface area approximates 200 m/sup 2//g, and the dye is one of the following: methylene blue, basic fuchsine, fluorescein, rhodamine B, fast red S, and brilliant green. Working absorbance vs dose curves are given for different dyes. (D.L.C.)
