This report presents an analytical function as the reference neutron and photon dose (normalized to an ion chamber integral) for future nuclear accident dosimeter (NAD) exercise at the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI). Various dosimeters and equipment were positioned within exposure room 1 (ER1) and irradiated using a 1.1 MW Training, Research, Isotope, General Atomics (TRIGA) Mark-F nuclear reactor. An ion chamber located in ER1 was used as a normalization factor in Equation 2. This allows for a quick calculation of neutron and photon dose based on the ion chamber data. Currently, AFRRI is in preparation to host a NAD exercise this summer.
