A DOSIMETER HAVING AN ESSENTIALLY ENERGY INDEPENDENT RESPONSE WITHOUT THE USE OF FILTERS AND BEING SUBSTANTIALLY STABLE AGAINST FADING IS PROVIDED BY A LITHIUM BORATE GLASS CONTAINING LI, B, AND AG. THIS GLASS MAY BE PREPARED, FOR EXAMPLE, BY MELTING A MIXTURE OF LINO3, B2O3, AND AGPO3 IN VARIOUS PROPORTIONS. THE GLASS ALSO PERMITS SENSITIVE MEASUREMENTS AT HIGH TEMPERATURES, THE MEASUREMENT OF A THERMAL NEUTRON COMPONENT IN MIXED (N, Y) RADIATION FIELDS, AND SENSITIVE MEASUREMENTS AT HIGH DOSE LEVELS SUCH AS OCCUR IN STERILIZATION AND FOOD PROCESSING SYSTEMS.
