Lubricant γ-ray dosimeter
Description
A chemical dosimeter has been developed which is based on the gas evolution of lubricants by γ-radiation. The dosimeter can be used to measure γ-doses with good linearity in the range of 1-10 Mrad. Four commercial lubricant oils, motor oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid and vacuum pump oil were tested with 60Co γ-radiation at an average dose rate of 72 krad h-1 inside the sample container. The dosimeter was calibrated with a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD, CaF2:Mn). (author)
