It is required to determine the average dose to a sample of water in a complexly shaped radiation container near a cobalt source. This is most easily done using the Fricke dosimeter. The container is filled with Fricke solution and exposed. A sample of the well-mixed irradiated solution is then placed in a quartz cuvette of 2 cm path length and its absorbance measured against the stock solution at 304 nm. Suppose the measured absorbance is 0.360. Calculate the dose. Summary of Calibration Procedures Exposure Rate Determinations Select a suitable treatment applicator or reference field size (for example 10 by 10 cm) and direct the beam in such a way as to avoid scattering from nearby objects. b. Select filter, tube current (mA), and voltage (kV) and determine the half-value layer for these settings of the machine. c. Select a suitable practical dosimeter that has an exposure calibration factor traceable to a standardization laboratory (see section 4.09) for the half-value layer of the radiation beam to be measured. The ionization chamber should be one that has been designed specifically for the energy of radiation being measured. It may be necessary to interpolate between two calibration factors to obtain the required one. d. Fasten the dosimeter in a clamp so that
