Abstract:

The cericcupric chemical dosimeter was investigated using cobalt-60 radiation at five concentrations over a dose range of 5 kilorads to 50 megarads. A G-value of 2.17 plus or minus 0.01 was determined for ceric concentrations from 1 to 400 millimolar, with a slightly higher value for 0.20 mM. The yield of 100 and 400 mM solutions is affected by competing reactions, and correction factors must be applied. Spectrophotometric analysis combined with automatic dilution techniques was found to be a convenient and reliable method of analysis. Even under adverse conditions the precision obtained with the system approached that of the Fricke dosimeter. Author
