NUCLEAR MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES FOR RADIATION-EFFECTS ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING
Abstract
Methods and techniques employed for characterizing radiation-effects environments are discussed. Procedures for dosimetry planning and execution, together with detailed examples for specific application, are included. Included also are reaction data, calibration factors, and flux calculations for t ermal-, resonance-, and fast-neutron foil-type detectors Several figures illustrate typical neutron spectra and integrals, gamma spectra decay schemes, statistical analysis of data, pulse shapes, and nonnuclear (temperature) parametric effects on gamma systems. Thirty-three references pertinent to the documented information are cited. Information includes decay schemes of some useful neutron detectors and detailed procedures for IBM reduction of foil data.
