[en] The Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory is converting from a film badge to a badge containing thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD's). The new dosimeter consists of a plastic badge holding an aluminum card which contains three TLD-700 and one TLD-600 Harshaw LiF chips. In the albedo-neutron portion of the badge, based on Hankins' design, the TLD-600 and one TLD-700 chips are shielded from thermal neutrons by 0.026-inch-thick cadmium. From the difference in readings of these two TLD's, the neutron dose is estimated. There is also a detachable holder for NTA film if needed to cover the neutron energy range not covered by the albedo-neutron badge. The neutron energy response of the new badge was measured, using monoenergetic sources over the range from 0.1 to 14 MeV and is compared with a calculated response over this range. Since NTA film cannot detect proton recoils from neutrons with energies less than 0.7 MeV, a primary advantage of the TLD albedo-neutron badge is its ability to record neutrons down to the cadmium cutoff. However, a major disadvantage is its sharp decrease in sensitivity with increasing energy. Data are given showing this. Using a BF₃ detector inside 9-inch and 3-inch polyethylene spheres containing cadmium, Hankins developed a method for applying energy calibration factors to the albedo-neutron TLD badge readings. This method is based on two premises: first, that the response in rem of the 9-inch sphere is independent of energy and second, that the response of the 3-inch sphere is similar to that of the TLD albedo-neutron badge. Measurements to test the validity of these premises are reported. The method requires initial 9-inch to 3-inch sphere ratios to be measured in each area where neutrons are encountered and periodic checks to detect changes which may occur
