Personal neutron dosimeter
A personal electronic neutron dose equivalent meter includes a neutron proton converter for providing an electrical signal having a magnitude proportional to the energy of a detected proton produced from the converter, a pulse generator circuit for generating a pulse having a duration controlled by the weighted effect of the amplitude of the electrical signal, an oscillator enabled by the pulse for generating a train of clock pulses for a longer time dependent upon the pulse length, a counter for counting the clock pulses, and an indicator for providing a direct reading and aural alarm when the count indicates that the wearer has been exposed to a selected level of neutron dose equivalent. Data are included that describe the development of the hybrid circuits, electrical performance, background radiation response, gamma response, and neutron response from a Califorium-252 source.
