AbstractAbstract
[en] The responses of polymer thermocurrent dosemeters to fission spectrum and 14 MeV neutrons were measured. The dosemeters are in the form of disks 1 cm diam by 0.5 mm thick. Relative to Cobalt 60 gamma responses, teflon PTFE dosemeters show a 6 percent response to 14 MeV neutrons and a 5 percent response to fission neutrons on a tissue rad basis. Polymethylpentene dosemeters show a 49 percent response to 14 MeV neutrons and a 40 percent response to fission neutrons on a tissue rad basis when provided with adequate recoil proton buildup. The sensitivity of these dosemeters is limited to neutron doses greater than 10 rads by spurious background currents
