Swaja, R E

The traveler attended the Sixth Symposium on Neutron Dosimetry during October 12--14, 1987, at the Gesellschaft fur Strahlen-und Umweltforschung in Neuherberg, Federal Republic of Germany. This conference included a very comprehensive program with technical presentations in all areas of neutron dosimetry including several currently controversial topics such as quality factors, passive personnel dosimeters, bubble detectors, and survey instruments. The conference was attended by more than 200 people form about 15 countries including many recognized experts in radiation dosimetry, radiobiology, and microdosimetry. The traveler presented a paper containing results of neutron personnel dosimetry research studies conducted since 1974 at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. During the symposium, the traveler discussed possible future collaborative research efforts with personnel from facilities associated with the Commission of European Communities in areas concerning neutron spectrometry and passive dosimeter testing. These discussions were continued during a visit to the Atomic Energy Authority Laboratories in Harwell, United Kingdom, on October 15, 1987. Through the conference attendance and discussions with dosimetry researchers, the traveler gained information concerning directions and philosophies in neutron dosimetry and made preliminary plans for future cooperative research efforts which will be directly related to DOE programs.
