Abstract:The ceric/cupric chemical dosimeter was investigated using cobalt-60 radiation at three Ce+4concentrations overs a dose range of 150 Gy to 40 kGy.Tke resulting value for the molar absorptivity was 5643±451.M-1.cm-1.A G(Ce3+)value of 2.2±0.04 was determined for 0.5-10 mM(Ce+4)/0.1M Cu+2 at 5cm (H2O).G(Ce3+)decreased approximately linearly with increase in irradiation temperature.The accuracy for the determination of absorbed dose at calibrated point of 5cm(H2O)is better than ±3.5%.The reproducibi-lity is better than ±2.5%.
