[Gel-type agar color dosimeter].
Gel-type color dosimeter which is made by dissolving 2 kinds of dye in agar is developed. The dosimeter has following characteristics. (1) The dosimeter is easy to make and can be formed easily to any shape required. (2) The dose and dose distribution in krad region can be measured by color change of the dosimeter. (3) The 3 dimensional dose distribution can be observed by cutting or slicing the irradiated dosimeter. The dosimeter is used in the sprout inhibition experiment of potato by electron irradiation. From the data obtained, several irradiation conditions of the irradiating machine and irradiation method can be decided most suitably.
