An International Neutron Dosimetry Intercomparison (INDI) was carried out in 1973 at the Radiological Research Accelerator Facility (RRAF) of Brookhaven National Laboratory under the sponsorship of the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU). Fourteen groups of scientists, from six countries, performed measurements to determine the separate neutron and photon (x- and gamma-ray) tissue kermas in free air for four energies of monoenergetic neutrons, 15.1, 5.5, 2.1, and 0.67 MeV, and for a source of fission neutrons, /sup 252/Cf. For the two highest energies measurements were also made to determine the separate absorbed doses in tissue of neutrons and of photons at three depths in a large water phantom. Nonparametric analyses of the calculated relative responses of the tissue equivalent ionization chambers showed significant concordance. (CH)
