Dose equivalent LiF TLD (thermoluminescent dosimeter) neutron and photon area monitor. Final report, 1977-1984

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5168670
; ; ; ;
A passive area monitor was demonstrated that can measure neutron and gamma-ray dose equivalents. The monitor combines the neutron-moderator shield of a Snoopy remeter with a lithium fluoride TLD thermal-neutron and gamma-ray detector. This area monitor can be a valuable aid in evaluating personnel LiF TLD albedo neutron-dosimeter exposures. Calibrated with PuBe, the monitor will read the actual neutron dose equivalent -60 + 160% over the neutron energy range from thermal to 14 MeV. Calibrated with cobalt 60, the monitor will read the actual gamma-ray dose equivalent from -40 to + 0% from 38 keV to Cobalt 60.
