Profile
The Working Group “Neutron Dosimetry” is responsible for the realization and dissemination of dose quantities for neutron radiation and operates an irradiation facility with neutron sources. They consult and develop recommendations and reference methods. The Working Group is represented in national and international committees on harmonization and standardization.
Research/Development
Services
The Working Group offers calibrations and irradiations of neutron measuring instruments, area dosemeters and personal dosemeters. The Working Group advises individual monitoring services, manufacturers and end-users on questions concerning the measurement of ambient and personal dose.
- Calibration of ambient dose equivalent rate meters in reference fields of neutron radionuclude sources
- Irradiation of personal dosemeters in reference fields of neutron radionuclide sources
- Irradiation of radiation protection instruments with thermal neutrons
- Annual intercomparison of personal dosemeters from German individual monitoring services
