Abstract
A twin calorimeter has been constructed and used for the measurement of absorbed dose. The calorimeter utilizes a difference in mass between the twin absorbers to provide a different thermal response. The system was tested at a dose rate of 32.3 rad/hr with a 60Co source and the results compared to ion chamber measurements.
