Abstract

A commercially available leuco dye containing polyvinyl butyral based film (FWT-63-02) has been investigated ctrophotometrically for its dosimetric characteristic and for its use as routine dosimeter in radiation processing for the absorbed dose range 0.1 to 10 kGy. The present study was carried out to evaluate the performance of dosimeter under different environmental conditions (i.e. effects of temperature and relative humidity during irradiation). The response was measured at peak wavelength of 600 nm as well as at a number of other wavelengths (550, 625, 640 and 650 nm). The dosimeter was found to show quite stable response up to a radiation chamber temperature of 40°C. The dosimeter also showed stable behavior at low or moderate relative humidity conditions (<76%) in the radiation chamber. The characteristics of the dosimeter are suitable for its possible application in radiation processing, food irradiation and sterilization applications.
