A gel forming composition for radiation dosimetry, and a high sensitivity and high safety radiation dosimeter using a gel formed from the composition. A gel forming composition for radiation dosimetry comprising a gelator and a compound of Formula (1): (wherein Ris a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an optionally substituted Calkyl group, etc.; and Rand Rare each independently a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted Calkyl group, an optionally substituted monovalent Caromatic group, or Rand Rform a 4- to 8-membered ring together with a carbon atom to which Rand Rare bonded, and the 4-to 8-membered ring may have 0 to 3 nitrogen atoms, oxygen atoms, or sulfur atoms as a ring atom, provided that Rand Rare not simultaneously a hydrogen atom).

Gel forming composition for radiation dosimetry and radiation dosimeter using gel that is formed from said composition

A radiation dosimetry gel is excellent in heat resistance, and a radiation dosimeter includes the radiation dosimetry gel as a material for measuring a radiation dose. A radiation dosimetry gel includes a water-soluble organic polymer (A) having an organic acid salt structure or an organic acid anion structure, a silicate (B), and a dispersant (C) for the silicate, and a radiation dosimeter includes the radiation dosimetry gel as a material for measuring a radiation dose.

Radiation dosimetry gel and radiation dosimeter comprising the same as material for measuring radiation dose

To measure three-dimensional dose distributions with a dosimeter, such as a gel dosimeter. In an embodiment of the present invention, provided is a gel dosimeter having water, as solvent or disperse medium, clay particles that swell with water, and recording material precursor, which are dissolved or dispersed with each other. The recording material precursor has an atom or ion, wherein the atom or ion changes its valence number by reacting with both of a radical and a molecular radical derivative. The radical is to be generated from the water ionized by irradiation of radiation rays, and the molecular radical derivative is a molecule to be formed by bonding the radicals with each other. By the time radiation rays are irradiated, the gel dosimeter has been free from a substance identical to the molecular radical derivative and has lost fluidity.
