Abstract

A gamma ray dosimeter was developed and used on Operation Crossroads providing dosage measurements at certain selected locations on the target ships. The range of dosage measured was from 100 to 20,000 roentgens. The principle of darkening of vycor glass by gamma rays proved to be applicable for a rugged, simple dosimeter. (Author)
