Charge transport tactical dosimeter. [Based on radiation-induced charge buildup in insulators]
By taking advantage of the recently investigated phenomena of radiation-induced charge buildup in insulators, it has become possible to develop a dosimeter which meets all of the requirements of the Army tactical dosimeter while avoiding the technological complexity of the IM185. This new instrument, the charge transport dosimeter, is intended as a second generation replacement for the IM185. Its design promises several significant advantages: (1) It is entirely self-contained. (2) It requires no external power sources such as batteries. (3) Elimination of the vacuum system reduces maintenance. (4) Unit production costs are expected to be low. (5) There is no residual electrical leakage in the package during pre-exposure storage.
