Abstract

In the past, separate instruments have been used to monitor dose equivalent from neutrons and gamma rays. It has been demonstrated in the laboratory that it is now possible to measure simultaneously neutron and gamma dose with a single instrument, the tissue equivalent proportional counter (TEPC). With appropriate algorithms dose equivalent can also be determined from the TEPC. A simple 'pocket rem meter' for measuring neutron dose equivalent has already been developed. Improved algorithms for determining dose equivalent for mixed fields are presented.
