Abstract
The possibility of ESR determination of the radiation dose using build ing materials is studied. Two radiation signals are observed in the br ick samples superimposed on a non-radiation broad background signal. T he two radiation signals have the different outputs and change differe ntly with microwave power variation. The sensitivity of the method is dependant upon raw material composition. The minimal dose, determined by this method with the radiation signals in bricks, is equal to 0.6 G y. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
