Abstract
The utility of the quantitative assay of free radicals produced in polytetrafluoroethylene as a means of ionizing radiation dosimetry is discussed. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy is used as the diagnostic technique. It is shown that this dosimetry concept is very useful over the range 10/3 to 108 rad and that the range can be extended on both ends without much difficulty. Also, this material can be used to obtain depthdose profiles in a straightforward manner.
