TITLE DETECOR/DOSIMETER FOR GAMMA AND MICROWAVE RADIATION INVENTOR HARRY ING ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A direct reading, self-powered detector and dosimeter for gamma rays, and other low LET radiation, and optionally microwaves, is described. A transparent elastic solid medium contains uniformly dispersed droplets of a very high vapour pressure detector liquid substantially immiscible with the elastic solid. It has been found possible to form stable droplets having a sufficiently high degree of superheat for their vapourization to be sensitive to lightly ionizing radiation such as gamma rays and even to microwave radiation. The droplets can be made stable to spontaneous vapourization, yet their explosive vapourization will be triggered by gamma or in some cases microwave radiation. The solid medium will retain a record of each droplet vapourized, the number being proportional to the dose of radiation. If desired the detector liquid vapours can be condensed or compressed into droplets again and the detector/dosimeter re-used.
