Abstract

Glass dosimeters useful in beta-gamma dosimetry, slow neutron dosimetry, and the dosimetry of high-energy charged particles in the 0.02 to (1–2)·106 rad range have been developed. The dosimeters are capable of storing and retaining information for an unusually long interval (as long as a month in a 150°C environment). These glasses are not excited by daylight, but daylight does exert a deexcitation effect: 26 to 38% of the stored light sum is dissipated by deexcitation in a period of 40 days.

The effective atomic number of the optimum glass recipes is 11 to 13. A fitter of 0.6mm Sn+0.5 mm Al helps counteract the "hardness variation" in the range from 40 keV on higher, within an error of ±20%. The glass dosimeters are usable repeatably.
