Title: New fixed nuclear-accident-dosimetry system for the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory
Abstract: A simple and inexpensive Nuclear Accident Dosimetry (NAD) system for use in criticality accidents is described in this report. It consists of activation detectors of indium, gold, copper and sulfur for neutron dose estimates and thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) and radiophotoluminescent (RPL) dosimeters for gamma dose measurements. The method for interpreting the activation data for determining neutron fluences and doses (in Kerma and in Element 57 dose) in different energy intervals is described. This new NAD was tested in the Eighteenth Nuclear Accident Dosimetry Intercomparison Study at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the results were satisfactory.
