Just, R; Waly, A

An improved radio-photoluminescent dosimeter structure for x and gamma rays is designed which is stable in operation and has a constant pre-dose under all conditions. The dosimeter comprises a waterproof casing housing a silver- activated phosphate glass and free from adhesives or other isuorescent material. The square-shaped glass element has one side and one edge leis uncoated, but the other side and edges are fritted with a black non-reflecting, non-fluorescing vitreous material. In operation, the dosimeter is exposed to the radiation and then to uv light to cause it to luminesce. The amount of luminescence is taken to be a measure of the radiation dose after correction for the pre-dose characteristic of the glass. (D.L.C.)
