From third Health Physics Society midyear topical symposium; Los Angeles, California, USA (29 Jan 1969). See CONF-690103P1. An analysis is made of the errors involved in routine measurements of flux and dose equivalent around high-energy accelerators. By use of some typical neutron spectra from multidetector measurements made around the accelerators at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, Berkeley, and the proton synchrotron at CERN. Geneva, a calculation is made of the errors involved when only one detector is used for evaluating the total neutron flux and corresponding dose-cquivalent rate. The correction factors to be applied to the routine measurements in these fields have been calculated, and a method is proposed for minimizing those errors. A CDC-6600 computer was used to make the calculations. (auth)
