Harshaw/Bicron 8807 environmental dosemeter - implementation issues

  • 1. Knolls Atomic Power Lab., Schenectady, NY (United States)

Description

This paper provides details regarding implementation of the Harshaw/Bicron 8807 dosemeter for field use in an environmental monitoring program. The paper discusses special precautions which must be taken to ensure accuracy and reproducibility. Specifically, light sensitivity should be eliminated and temperature dependent fade accounted for. Seasonal bias of +15% to +50% can result if this is not done
