Seventh Doe Workshop on Personnel Neutron Dosimetry

Guide to reducing radiation exposure to as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA)

“…In large measure, this is due to the difficulties inherent in obtaining a dosimeter that will provide a reasonably accurate dose response over the wide range of neutron energies encountered in the field. The state of neutron dosimeter development has been the subject of seven DOE workshops since 1969; the most recent workshop revealed that there is little improvement pending a breakthrough (Vallario 1978).…”
