Abstract
Beryllium oxide is one of the most potentially useful materials, in the tissue-equivalent range, as a solid-state integrating dosimeter. It is hoped to exploit its use both as a thermally stimulated exoelectron (TSEE) and as a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD), particularly in situations where other types of integrating dosimeters are nonexistent or inadequate. This material also exhibits unique characteristics in its response to nonionizing radiation. Research is reported. (WHK)
