Neutron Area Monitor

Abstract

Several facilities throughout the Navy, particularly accelerator facilities, produce significant neutron radiation fields. Having a monitor to provide instant readings on the neutron level provides data on high dose procedures and experiments. The current system requires environmental dosimeters to be used and sent out for processing, taking weeks to obtain results. Waiting on dosimeter results may cause excessive exposures to individuals because safe radiological boundaries may not be maintained where the radiation level is not known.
