The utilization of bubble detector technology in the development of a combination area neutron spectrometer (CANS)

Spectrum, spectrum who has the spectrum? This must be the cry of every health physicist who has ever attempted to characterize his neutron environment. Since God created them, He is the only one who knows for sure what they are. And until He chooses to open-quotes publishclose quotes them, differences in opinion will surely continue to prevail exclamation point Therefore, our job as health physicists is to keep tweaking our methods until our knowledge of the spectrum corresponds analogically with His knowledge. Then, and only then will we have the true answer exclamation point The Dosimetry Applications Research Group (DOSAR) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is considering various applications of a relatively new technology built upon the bubble chamber concept of Glaser, the superheated liquid droplet or bubble detector (BD). One such application involves the spectrometric capabilities made possible with the combined technologies of BD and thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD)
