title: Dose rate dependence on the response of CR-39 SSNT-detector.
abstract: The dose rate dependence on the response of CR-39 SSNT-Detector was examined. The dose rate region studied was 10(2)-10(6) rad/min for doses 0 up to 1 Mrad. For relatively low and high dose rates a drop in the response of the detector was observed. The behavior changes for low doses and above 1 Mrad. The contribution of recombination and degradation mechanisms on the observed behavior was discussed.
