Abstract
Several dose equivalent survey meters and their properties are described. Investigations reveal that conventional types, consisting of a moderator, thermal neutron absorber and thermal neutron detector, do not have a response over an extended range of energies, say from thermal to 15 MeV, as recommended by ICRP. Nevertheless, these survey meters are widely used for radiation protection measurements in stray neutron fields. It appears necessary to use more complicated systems which employ several detectors to obtain a more satisfactory response function. There are a few new proposals which appear promising in this respect.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
