Use of an alternative neutron dosimetry standard for fission track dating

Description

Some workers have found neutron dosimetry methods unsatisfactory for quantifying the thermal neutron fluence term of the fission track age equation. The accuracy of a neutron fluence measurement for irradiation of a fission track dating package is discussed. Vacuum evaporated uranium films were used to measure the fine structure variation of fission rate within the volume of a fission track dating irradiation package. (author)
