Portable instrumentation for processing information from selected personnel neutron dosimetry detectors

Creators

  • 1. Los Alamos National Lab., NM

Description

The application of experimental, real-time neutron detectors to measure neutron dose equivalent is discussed. Emphasis is on interfacing the detectors to microcomputer-based portable instruments. This consists of selecting the appropriate neutron detector, determining its operating characteristics and the information it can provide, interfacing this information with a data storage bank, manipulating the data to obtain the neutron dose equivalent, and then providing a read-out in a useful format
