Description
Integral Experiment Request (IER) 484 is part of a series of dose characterization and nuclear accident dosimeter (NAD) exercises performed under the Department of Energy (DOE) Nuclear Criticality Safety Program (NCSP). The Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) 1.1 MW Training, Research, Isotopes, General Atomics (TRIGA) Mark-F reactor is the third facility to undergo a dose study to establish reference dose values. A preliminary measurement was performed earlier this year, where a variety of foils were irradiated and activation gamma rays were measured using a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector. The data was taken and analyzed to calculate the neutron spectrum in the irradiation facility. This paper will present preliminary results of the neutron dose measured. The characterization of the AFRRI dose field is planned in August. (author)
