Abstract excerpt
On the basis of the known photodimerization of uracil it is proposed to use its films obtained by sublimation in vacuum for the dosimetry of genetically active UV radiation. Experimental estimations are presented of radiation dose rate resulting in a change of uracil optical density delta D/D0 un...
