Individual dosimetry for neutron radiation fields
Abstract
Neutron dosimetry techniques used in a dosimetric center are discussed, including film individual dosimetry for slow and fast neutrons, albedo individual dosimetry with either thermoluminescent detectors or alpha particle tracer detectors, and alpha tracer detectors using the CR-39 commercial reticulated polymer. The technique using the CR-39 is found to be easy to use, low cost and has a low neutron energy threshold.
