Description

CR-39 PADC (poly-allyl-diglycol carbonate) detector is presently being used for fast neutron (>100 keV) monitoring of the radiation workers involved in nuclear reactors, reprocessing plants and well-oil logging industries. It is insensitive to beta and gamma radiation in a wide range of doses. CR-39 is polymerized with 0.1% Di-octyl Phthalate (DOP) as plasticizer and 3.3% isopropyl peroxy dicarbonate (IPP) as initiator. The Allyl Diglycol Carbonate monomer, if doped with 0.5% carborane (B10H10C2H2), its sensitivity to thermal neutrons is enhanced due to 10B(n, α)7Li reaction. This paper presents response of boron doped CR-39 and normal CR-39 (without boron doping) to fast and thermal neutrons
