Methods to verify absorbed dose of irradiated containers and evaluation of dosimeters

  • 1. Institute for Application of Atomic Energy, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing (China)

Description

The research on dose distribution in irradiated food containers and evaluation of several methods to verify absorbed dose were carried out. The minimum absorbed dose of treated five orange containers was in the top of the highest or in the bottom of lowest container. Dmax/Dmin in this study was 1.45 irradiated in a commercial 60Co facility. The density of orange containers was about 0.391g/cm3. The evaluation of dosimeters showed that the PMMA-YL and clear PMMA dosimeters have linear relationship with dose response, and the word NOT in STERIN-125 and STERIN-300 indicators were covered completely at the dosage of 125 and 300 Gy respectively.
