Re: Retrospective neutron dosimetry

["James Blute" <james.blute@aeat.co.uk>]

I am trying to answer that same question about Landauer's current

neutron dosimetry.  Specifically, the Luxel J badge.  If anyone has

independantly studied the accuracy of this badge I would love to discuss

the results with you.



I would be happy to get some generic (practical) advice about

validating a neutron dosimeter as well.

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?
