TITLE DIRECT READING RADIATION DETECTOR/DOSIMETER INVENTORS Harry Ing Hyman C. Birnboim ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A direct reading detector or dosimeter is described, for neu- trons and other high LET radiation comprising a selected, substantially transparent, elastic solid medium uniformly impregnated with droplets of an immiscible detector liquid. The detector liquid-in-solid is appropri- ately confined and rendered stable for storage by adding a layer of ex- cess detector liquid and sealing in a container. On opening the contain- er and removing the excess detector liquid, the detector liquid droplets become superheated and the detector or dosimeter is activated. Neutrons and other high LET radiation will trigger the vaporization of the super- heated droplets and the selected solid, elastic medium will trap the products of vaporization and retain a usual record thereof over an extended time. The number of vaporization events can be counted to give a measure of the radiation dose.
