Abstract
A method for measuring radiation intensity includes measuring the radiation intensity received by the protein in a radiation field based on degree of protein degradation in the radiation field, wherein the degree of degradation is a ratio of the molecular weight of the protein before and after irradiation. The measuring method is simple in operation, small in number of steps, small in error, and capable of measuring radiation doses of various radiation fields or even mixed radiation fields. Use of a biological dosimeter for measuring the radiation intensity by the method in a neutron capture therapy system can not only assess radiation contamination in the irradiation chamber, but also evaluate the neutron dose.
