Description

This work describes spectral distributions of neutrons obtained as function of energy and direction at four workplace fields at the Kruemmel reactor in Germany. Values of personal dose equivalent Hp(10) and effective dose E are determined for different directions of a person's orientation in these fields and readings of personal neutron dosemeters - Especially electronic dosemeters - Are discussed with respect to Hp(10) and E.
