With the aim of improving the monitoring of workers potentially exposed to neutron radiation in Brazil, the IPEN/CNEN-SP in association with PRO-RAD designed and developed a passive individual gamma-neutron mixed-field dosemeter calibrated to be used to (241)AmBe sources. To verify the dosimetry system response to different neutron spectra, prototypes were irradiated with a (252)Cf source and evaluated using the dose-calculation algorithm developed for (241)AmBe sources.
为了改进对巴西可能接触中子辐射的工人的监测,巴西核能与能源研究中心/巴西国家核能委员会圣保罗分中心(IPEN/CNEN-SP)与辐射防护协会(PRO-RAD)联合设计并开发了一种被动式个人伽马-中子混合场剂量计,该剂量计经过校准,可用于(241)镅铍源。为了验证剂量测定系统对不同中子能谱的响应,使用(252)锎源对原型进行了辐照,并使用为(241)镅铍源开发的剂量计算算法进行了评估。
