Measuring Cosmic Radiation

["Frikkie Beeslaar" <beeslar@sabs.co.za>]

Hi Radsafers



Has anybody tried to measure cosmic radiation in an aircraft  or doses

to aircrew with Panasonic UD802 meters?  My biggest concern is the dose

from neutrons.  Will it be possible to distinguish between the dose

contribution from neutrons and gammas?  



Thanks for the help
