Abstract

The investigations used Monte Carlo simulations to design a new high energy neutron dose equivalent meter or rem meter. This rem meter design uses new moderating materials and a ³He detector that results in higher neutron detection efficiency, especially for higher energy neutrons. Response is also improved - the response of the new rem meter is a closer match to the fluence to dose curve.
