Abstract

The recommended energy dependences of the sensitivity of emergency dosimeters are calculated for different irradiation geometries in the photon energy range of 10 keV–10 MeV. These serve to estimate the levels of radiation for which, according to the NRB-99 standard, either urgent action or action for chronic exposure is necessary.
