Description

Increasing demand on calibrations of neutron personal dose meters and to test the neutron sensitivity of photon personal dose meters has been noticed at STUK. Up to now, Radiation Metrology Laboratory of STUK (SSDL) have had calibration capability for ambient dose equivalent (H*(10)) by non-moderated 252Cf and 241AmBe neutrons. Therefore, this study was started to characterize neutron fields produced by STUK calibration neutron sources with measurements and simulations in order to investigate if the STUK facility is suitable for Hp(10) personal neutron dosimeter calibrations. Evaluation is to be made in respect to international standards and the achieved uncertainty of the calibrations.
