Abstract

The results of testing of two types of Harshaw TLD dosimeters - 8814/7776 and 8806/6776 Neutron Albedo in mixed neutron-gamma fields are presented The test­ing was performed in the framework of IAEA neutron-gamma intercomparison. The ability of these types of dosimeters and dose algorithms for dose evaluation in complicated irradiation fields is estimated. The results seem significant in the context of technical modernization of dosimetry services in Ukraine as well as in the broadening of the scope of dosimetric monitoring to new dosimetric quantities.
