RE: irradiated mail



Ronald,
For high dose, the person should be looking at chemical or radiochromic dosimeters.  I know that places that sterilize blood have labels that change color to ensure that the blood has been sterilized.  Of course, the true test will be to irradiate audio tapes to 10 kGy and see if they still work.

Subject: irradiated mail

I have been approached by a client that is looking for an instrument, that could be sent through the mail, that would be able to determine the dose received in a package when it goes through the mail irradiation device being used in the Washington D. C. area.  They are shipping audio tapes through the mail to their customers and are worried that the tapes will be damaged.
