Neutron dosimetry using Panasonic UD802

[DUTOIT DuToit Volschenk <dutoit@sabs.co.za>]

We are investigating the feasibility of replacing our current Kodak NTA 
personnel neutron monitoring system with a system making use of Panasonic 
UD802 badges. The scale of our neutron monitoring operation does not 
really justify the more expensive solutions of Cr-39 or specially 
designed albedo TLDs such as the Panasonic UD809. 

I would appreciate any comments and experiences.

(Most of the people we currently monitor make use of AmBe sources and our 
monitoring with regards to nuclear reactors is limited to one 
experimental reactor only.)
