NBS standard neutron beams extend energy range for personnel dosimeter calibrations

Journal Article · · Dimensions/NBS; (United States)

;
At the NBS reactor researchers have used filter techniques to produce neutron beams for dosimeter calibration at energies of 2 keV, 24 keV, and 144 keV. The 144-keV beam provides an overlap with existing calibration facilities, the 24-keV beam fixes the low-energy end of these facilities, and the 2-keV beam provides the only calibration point available in the intermediate energy range.
