REVIEW OF DOSIMETRY FIELD
Abstract
This report presents a review and critical evaluation of the literature on high-level radiation dosimetry published since 1958. The purpose of the review was to establish whether recent dosimetry research has developed any new dosimeters which are suitable for use in the Quartermaster Radiation Laboratory and for inclusion in a dosimetry handbook to be prepared as part of this contract work. Of the 13 new dosimeters discussed in the report, only three, oxalic acid, polyisobutylene, and Mylar film, seem sufficiently promising to warrant further development. Their current states of development are not sufficiently far advanced, however, to warrant their inclusion in a definitive dosimetry handbook. It is recommended that only the Fricke and ceric sulfate dosimeters be included in the dosimetry handbook, but that additional work should be done on oxalic acid, polyisobutylene, and Mylar as dosimetry materials.
