Radiation-sensitive film compositions for measuring absorbed doses within the 100-1000 Gy range

Abstract

This work was aimed at investigating the spectral features and dose sensitivities of film dosimetry systems developed at the All-Russian Research Institute for Physical-Engineering and Radiotechnical Metrology (VNIIFTRI) and approved as absorbed-dose reference materials. The properties of new radiation-sensitive compositions for high-intensity ionising radiation in the absorbed-dose range from 100 to 1000 Gy were studied. Dosimetric measurements in this range are in demand in the sphere of ionising radiation technologies used in agriculture and food-processing industries.
