Abstract
THE calorimetric system developed in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Laboratory, Vienna, has been used for measuring the electron dose distribution in a ‘Lucite’ phantom. It may be recalled that the calorimeter1 is calibrated in rads (1 rad =100 ergs/g) by accurate determination of the electric energy input.
