Detectors were created for dosimetry of 60Co γ- and proton radiations and the γ-component of reactor radiation based on KI glasses fused from the quartz of the Volyn deposit. The absorbed dose within the dose interval of 10 to 5 × 10 3 Gy can be measured by the thermoluminescence (TL) intensity and within the interval of 5 × 10 3 to 2 × 10 5 Gy can be done by the induced optical density at 550 nm. Detectors based on the quartz glasses KV and KU-1, measuring the absorbed dose by the induced optical density at 215 nm, were proposed for the γ-radiation dose interval from 5 × 10 5 to 10 8 Gy.
