Abstract
The results of an investigation of an aqueous chloroform solution as a dosimeter of x rays and gamma radiation are presented. A simple technique of measuring the resistance of solutions was used as a method of analysis. The studies revealed that the readings of the dosimeter are linear within the range of dose values of 4 x 10/sup 3/ to 3 x 10/sup 5/ r and do not depend upon the amount of the dose within the limits of 1.3 to 130 r/sec. The dosimeter was not able to show the rate of hard with changes in radiation energy from 100 kev (Cu = 0.35) to 1.25 Mev. An insignifi cant dependence of dosimeter readings on the temperature was noted. In the course of one month after the irradiation the readings of the dosimeter changed by 20%. (auth)
