AbstractAbstract
[en] Fuji Electric is working to develop methods for utilizing and monitoring radioactivity. In the monitoring field, Fuji Electric is developing and providing personal dose monitoring systems, survey meters and the like for use at newly constructed nuclear power plants and at an increasing number of worksites that use radiation. As personal dose monitoring systems, Fuji Electric provides a dose monitoring system capable of wireless real-time monitoring of doses detected with a semiconductor-based personal dosimeter, and a body surface monitor for use when entering or existing a radiation controlled area. Additionally, using a survey meter to measure the environmental radiation surrounding a radiation handling facility, and then sharing that data with local governments and disclosing it to the public, Fuji Electric also provides systems and survey meters for realizing safety and security for the local population.

AbstractAbstract
[en] The contamination monitoring is done by means of flat detectors, which are part of two detector walls. The detector walls are interlocked at an angle of 1040. Both the detector walls or columns have a vertical subdivision, which reduces the sensitivity of the arrangement at these places and therefore achieves an even measurement over the measurement cross section of the person to be monitored.

Die Kontaminationsueberwachung erfolgt mittels ebenen Detektoren, die Bestandteil zweier Detektorwaende sind. Die Detektorwaende sind unter einem Winkel von 1040 zusammengeschlossen. Beide Detektorwaende bzw. -saeulen besitzen eine senkrecht verlaufende Unterteilung, wodurch die Empfindlichkeit der Anordnung an diesen Stellen verringert und damit ein gleichmaessiges Messergebnis ueber die Messquerschnitte der zu ueberwachenden Personen erzielt wird.

AbstractAbstract
[en] The monitor has only two detector columns at an angle to one another and possibly divided in height, whose detectors are divided in the vertical direction in a middle range depending on a reference shape. The units formed by the subdivision equal the effect produced by the subdivision in approximation to the reference shape in evaluation. By including the detector columns divided into several detectors in height, a detector of about half the width is produced at a level above the threshold. Underarm boxes are provided at the outer edge of this detector, which are directed obliquely upwards. (orig./HP)

Der Monitor hat nur zwei unter einem Winkel zueinander angeordnete, gegebenenfalls in der Hoehe unterteilte Detektorsaeulen, deren Detektoren in einem mittleren Bereich in Abhaengigkeit von einer Referenzfigur in senkrechter Richtung unterteilt sind. Die durch die Unterteilung gebildeten Einheiten gleichen in der Auswertung den durch die Unterteilung in naechster Annaeherung an die Referenzfigur herbeigefuehrten Einfluss aus. Unter Einbeziehung der in der Hoehe in mehrere Detektoren unterteilten Detektorsaeulen ist in einer Hoehe ueber der Trittflaeche ein Detektor in etwa halber Breite ausgefuehrt. Am aeusseren Rand dieses Detektors sind Unterarm-Boxen vorgesehen, die schraeg nach oben gerichtet sind. (orig./HP)Original Title

AbstractAbstract
[en] There is a need for a personal dosimeter to measure the dose equivalent of newtrons from thermal to 15MeV. The authors have developed a combination dosimeter, which consists of TLD albedo dosimeter, newtron track film (NTA), and CR-39 carbonate track-etch dosimeter, for the purpose of evaluating wide energy range newtron dose-equivalent. This paper involves following: (1) The unfolding method of evaluating the dose-equivalent from measured data of the dosimeter using SAND-2 code. (2) The basic characteristics of the developed dosimeter when irradiated by 241Am-Be source or TRIGA-2 nuclear reacter. (3) The comparison between evaluated dose-equivalent of the dosimeter and STUDVIK remcounter evaluated value. (4) The accuracy and sensitivity of this dosimeter. The next results are obtained: (1) The developed unfolding method is enough to evaluate wide energy dose-equivalent. (2) The measured spectrum and dose-equivalent is agreed with the BF3 bonner counter evaluated one. (3) The accuracy is estimated within +-20%, and the sensitivity is enough satisfied the standard level of NRC and ANSI. (author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] In Reports 39 (1985) und 43 (1988) the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) has proposed new operational quantities for environmental and individual monitoring in radiation protection. Extensive experimental and numerical studies performed at the PTB supporting the implementation of these quantities into the practice of radiation protection instrument calibration are described. Results of calculations of neutron fluence-to-dose equivalent conversion factors for various dose equivalent quantities and calculations and measurements of the responses of individual neutron monitors are discussed.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Specific radionuclide analyses are necessary for evaluating an environmental contamination and radiation exposure of population. Gross measurements - gross beta, gross alpha or gross gamma - are in most cases not appropriate to give the necessary information. In normal situations suitable analytical methods are available for gamma emitters just as well as for beta and alpha emitters. Refined equipment and skilled technicians are prerequisites. In situations like after the Chernobyl accident there is a lack of rapid methods for beta and alpha emitters. This has to be overcome by prompt analyses of the primarily contaminated media like air and precipitation. The methods developed should be considered reference methods and not standardized methods, i.e. they may be used as long as there are no alternatives that might be better suited. The descriptions of the methods should not only tell what to do, they should also tell why something is done. The provision of methods has to be supplemented by an appropriate program of quality control. Performance of measurement equipment and of analytical procedures should be regularly checked. Every laboratory should participate in intercomparisons as often as possible. Only the combination of suitable reference methods and of appropriate performance of these methods in the laboratories will ensure an optimum of information which is necessary to assess environmental contaminations.
