Retrospective neutron dosimetry

[epirad@mchsi.com]

Radsafers,



Does anyone have any insights regarding how accurately Landauer film badge 

dosimetry was able to measure thermal and fast neutrons between 1948 and 

1975?  Does anyone know of any studies suggesting that the actual exposures 

were under reported because of the difficulty in measuring such a wide range 

of energies?
