DOSIMETRIC ANSWER OF PVC AND B-3 FILMS TO ELECTRON BEAMS WITH ENERGY 10 MeV IN THE RANGE 5-40 kGy

Zofia Peimel-Stuglik, Sławomir Fabisiak


Some physical parameters (thickness, initial absorbance) and also the dosimeteric answer of two films: a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film used as a routine dosimeter in the Radiation Sterilization Station (Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology – INCT) and a commercially available dosimetric film B-3, were investigated. Following the routine dosimetric pro-cedure, the only one unfavourable feature of the PVC film is a higher – in comparison with B-3 – spread of dosimetric signals between different samples (sPCW = 3.9%, sB-3 = 2.4%).
