This work deals with a study of depth dose distributions by means of thin-layer, thermoluminescent LiF fluoride plastic detectors 8 mg/cm/sup 2/ in thickness. The dosimetric properties of the detectors are described: tissue equivalence, sensitivity as function of radiation dosage, dose rate, angle of incidence of radiation, as well as stored total light as function of time. A comparison of the results obtained to measurements taken using the VNIIM (All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Metrology) extrapolation chamber showed that LiF fluoride plastic detectors can be used to measure depth dose distributions. Results of measurements from a /sup 32/P source and /sup 90/Sr-/sup 90/Y source of the point type used in radiotherapy are submitted.
