Abstract
An improved method of measuring the absorbed gamma-ray dose rate using CaSO 4 and SrSO4 type thermoluminescent detectors in models of iron shielding of a thermonuclear reactor is described. The reaction T(d, n)He-4 served as a neutron source. The method obtained makes it possible to determine the abs orbed gamma-ray dose rate in shielding without using computed information a nd relying only on experimental data on the rates of nuclear reactions in t hreshold detectors.
