Application of commercial glass in gamma radiation processing

A commercial glass has been investigated using UV–Vis spectrophotometry to study the gamma radiation response of this material and to evaluate its dosimetric characteristics: dose response, room temperature fading, effect of relative humidity during post-irradiation storage, temperature during irradiation and the dose rate effect. The overall uncertainty was also estimated.The obtained results demonstrate that the influence quantities on the glass response might be very significant and suitable corrections are indispensable.
