Neutron field correction coefficients for active and passive dosimeters in Cernavoda NPP
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work evaluated the Hp(10)dose for the personnel exposed in mixed field inside several locations of reactor 1 building at Cernavoda NPP. In order to achieve this we used active (EPD N2 and DMC 2000GN) and passive (TLD 8806) personnel dosimeters and one ambient neutron monitor for H*(10) evaluation. The dose correction coefficients vary from one room to another depending on the neutron spectra. The obtained values range from 1.6 to 4 meaning that all dosimeters are over evaluating the exposure.

Introduction: Neutrons have many applications in various fields, such as medicine. The important application of neutron in medical science is in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). Because of this, determination of neutron dose and flux is critical for the health maintaining of workers and patients exposed to this beam. The neutron radioisotope sources produce gamma rays in ...
متن کاملPassive neutron area monitor with CR39
Background: In high-intensity, mixed and pulsed neutron fields the use of spectrometers or area monitors with active detectors is useless in these conditions neutron measuring devices must have a passive detector. Here a passive neutron area monitor with CR39 track detector was designed and the response was calculated. Materials and Methods: The response of a passive neutron area monitor with C...
