Our investigations of an iso-octane-filled liquid-dielectric ionization chamber indicate that this dosimeter is well suited for the measurement of dose distributions at distances close to /sup 252/Cf interstitial implant sources. Initial research has shown that such an instrument provides good discrimination between the radiation components of a mixed field and possesses excellent sensitivity. Calculations indicate that iso-octane will yield a neutron and ..gamma..-ray dose response independent of energy over a major part of the /sup 252/Cf spectral range, while transmission measurements have demonstrated that the liquid causes little perturbation of the radiation field.
