Preparation and use of ferrous sulfate-cupric sulfate dosimeters for measuring absorbed ..gamma.. and electron radiation are described. The dosimeter is suitable for accurate measurement of the absorbed dose in water irradiated with x or ..gamma.. rays or high-energy electrons. The change in absorbance at 3050A of the irradiated solution of ferrous sulfate-cupric sulfate is measured in a temperature-controlled spectrophotometer. The absorbed dose in rads in the solution is proportional to the change in the absorbance. The method is accurate for absorbed doses in the range from 2 x 10/sup 5/ to 8 x 10/sup 5/ rads. (BLM)
