A commercial glass has been investigated using UV–Vis spectrophotometry to study the
gamma radiation response of this material and to evaluate its dosimetric characteristics:
dose response, room temperature fading, effect of relative humidity during post-irradiation
storage, temperature during irradiation and the dose rate effect. The overall uncertainty was
also estimated. The obtained results demonstrate that the influence quantities on the glass
response might be very significant and suitable corrections are indispensable.
