1.1 Scope

The purpose of the present Report is to provide a sound scientific basis for dosimetry for use in radiation processing. The applicable absorbed dose range is from 10 Gy to 100 kGy using electrons and photons with initial energies in excess of approximately 100 keV. The present Report covers commonly used reference standard dosimeters that provide traceability to primary dosimetry systems and also covers routine dosimeters used for measurement of absorbed dose distributions and for routine monitoring of the radiation process. There are few primary standards for the absorbed doses used in radiation processing, and measurements are usually traceable to the standards used in radiation therapy for lower absorbed doses. Such dosimetry systems are covered in ICRU Report 64 (ICRU, . . . [Full Text of this Article]
