Two types of dosimetry using special glasses as sensing elements are reviewed. Both systems give an integrated total dose measurement. One system is based on a change in luminescence with dose and covers the range 10 to 10,000 rads. The second system is based on an optical absorption change with dose and covers the range 10 4 to 10 7 rads.
