Polytetrafluorethylene in High-Dose EPR Dosimetry for Monitoring Radiation Technologies

Abstract

A brief list of the main directions in radiation processes using ionizing radiation in a wide range of doses and energies is given. The necessity of monitoring doses in irradiated objects and diagnosing radiation fields is substantiated. It is noted that in world practice, these problems are solved with the help of dosimetric EPR systems and detectors based on L-α-alanine. Using the example of sterilizing medical devices by radiation from an electron accelerator, a series of experimental results have been obtained that confirm the possibility of using polytetrafluoroethylene as a detector in dosimetric EPR systems for monitoring radiation processes.
