A POCKET DOSIMETER WITH RADIATION ELEMENT

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4843570

A pocket dosimeter for the detection of gamma rays, neutrons, and x-rays is described. The dosimeter consists of two hollow concentric spheres, coaxial prisms, or cylinders, one surrounded by the other. These chambers are insulated from one another and have different electronemitting capacity so as to produce an electromotive force when subjected to radiation, thus forming electrodes of a voltage cell. An electrometer is connected to this cell so as to measure the electromotive force produced. (N.W.R.)
