Commercial window glass samples were tested as routine high dose dosimeters at a 60 Co tote box irradiator. These samples were studied in terms of their batch uniformity, response repeatibility, fading and absorbed dose response from 5 until 30 kGy in typical irradiation procedures. The optical absorption technique was used to measure the glass samples. All the obtained results show the feasibility of using plate window glass samples as a routine high dose dosimetry system and as a Yes/No irradiation indicator for a 60 Co tote box irradiator.
