A new dosimeter material has been developed which consists of a radiation sensitive layer on a reflective base, and utilises a portable microdensitometer for response measurement. The instrument, modified from a readily available hand-held unit, is a standard in the printing industry. The system was designed with the demands of 'in plant' use in mind, and is equally suitable for either gamma or electron beam irradiation. The dosimeter material develops an easily visible colour change, which is quantitative, highly reproducible and stable over the dose range of approximately 5–45 kGy. The results presented demonstrate the calibration and characteristics of the dosimetry system, and explore some of its potential.
