A Co/sup 60/ source was used for the determination of the G values (converted molecules per 100 ev of absorbed energy) in Fricke iron sulfate dosimeters. The G value of 18 was used as the foundation for the first determination of the dose constant (that is the radiator output at unit distance) of Ir/sup 192/ by chemical methods. The value of 5.0 for the dose constant calculated from decay data was confirmed. 3 With the help of these data the dose output in the cone of the cobalt gun of the Basel Burgerspital was determined. This determination indicated the original specification of the Fricke dosimeter must be modified for high dose output. Eleven different chlorinated hydrocarbons in water solution were irradiated with a Co gun, It was shown that for sulfur- free compounds, the behavior does not obey the normal laws of chemical electron theory, but this is not true for sulfur-containing compounds.
