Improvements in the system for support of the uniformity of measurements of dosimetric quantities in neutron radiation fields

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

The state primary standard for neutron radiation is described. It consists of measuring instruments for dose absorption rate with a set of ionization chambers and a cylindrical proportional counter and an instrument for measuring the dose equivalent rate with a set of spherical moderators, intended, in particular, for metrological support of measurements of ambient and personal dose equivalent rates used for monitoring radiation safety.
