Re: N16 MONITORING

["Sandy Perle" <sandyfl@ix.netcom.com>]

While at Florida Power and Light Company, we tested the Merlin Gerin 
DMC-100, the Eberline Electronic Dosimeter and the Panasonic UD802 to 
iradiations of N16. The irradiations were conducted at the Lowell 
University reactor by Dr. Geroge Chabot. The results were that the 
Panasonic TLD and the Merlin Gerin over-responded by 10% and the 
Eberline over-responded by 10%. These results are only valid for the 
geometry of the irradiations, and extensive irradiations were not 
performed. Our purpose was to have "some" documentation regarding the 
dosimeters, and was not conducted for proficiency testing, which 
would have included angularity tests as well. I have made this study 
available for others to use when questioned by their regulatory 
bodies, or, were just interested in the study.
