ARRANGEMENT FOR MEASURING THE INTEGRAL ABSORBED LOCAL DOSE OF AMBIENT HIGH-ENERGY RADIATION

摘要

The integral absorbed local dose of ambient high-energy radiation is measured by means of a moulded cord (1) made of extrudable materials, which is self-supporting or can be incorporated in an elongated object such as an electric cable, pipe or the like. These materials contain substances which undergo an optical change and/or modification of their molecular structure under the influence of a high-energy radiation. Sections (2) are taken from the moulded cord (1) and the radiation dose absorbed is measured.
