BETA FIELD DOSE RATE DETERMINATION FOR ANGULAR RESPONSE WITH THE JUNO DOSE RATE METER

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4237531
The response of radiation detection instruments utilizing an ionization chamber to beta sources placed in various counter-source positions is discussed. Results are reperted from an evaluation of the Juno dose rate meter for an extended source. The maggnitude and characteristics of correction factors were measured. An experimental method is described for beta field dose rate determinations with dose rate meters. Data taken and analyzed in accordance with this method are included and discussed. (C.H.)
