Abstract
Previously we characterized radiophotoluminescent (RPL) detectors for measuring both fast and thermal neutrons for personal monitoring. The linear response and angular dependence, which satisfies the ISO 21909 standard makes their application possible in neutron dosimetry. The polymer CR-39 track detectors remain one of the most used dosimeters where neutron radiations are to be measured, but the visualization process is time consuming. The difference between results obtained by RPL and CR-39 has been discussed mainly for fast neutrons. The present study has also looked at thermal neutron dosimetry, where we found few results in the literature for CR-39. Our measurements demonstrate that RPL detectors can be advantageously incorporated into a dosimeter to measure thermal neutrons.
