Climax spent fuel dosimetry. Progress report, September 1980-September 1981

This progress report covers dosimetry work at the Climax Spent Fuel Test Facility up to September 1981. During this time the gamma calibrations were completed, the temperature-induced fading study was completed, the first set of exposed dosimeters was retrieved, and the second set of dosimeters was placed in the field. These were installed in stainless steel tubes located on the inside wall of five canister emplacement holes (0.61 m in diameter), numbers 1, 3, 4, 7, and 11. Hole 3 also had dosimeters in similar stainless steel tubes placed at radii of 0.51 and 0.66 m from the canister centerline. Data obtained from the first exposure (about 270 days in duration) are reported. Significant neutron exposures were measured; in some cases they were sufficiently high that neutron spectra could be calculated
