Fast neutron dosimetry using CaSO4:Dy thermoluminescent dosimeters

  • 1. Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Nucleares, Mexico, D.F., (Mexico)

Description

The use of CaSO4:Dy phosphor powder in fast neutron dose measurements using the activation of sulphur from the 32S(n,p)32P reaction is described. The thermoluminescence induced during the irradiation and that due to the decay of short-lived activation products, is erased by annealing the dosimeters after a post-irradiation time of 3 days. The self-induced thermoluminescence measured at different intervals of post-irradiation time, gives an estimation of the fast neutron dose to which the dosimeters were exposed
