Field Reader for a Combined Neutron/Gamma Thermoluminescent Dosimeter.

Abstract

An experimental model of a field reader to be used to interpret a combined neutron/gamma thermoluminescent dosimeter for military personnel has been designed and constructed. This instrument can operate from the 24-V battery of a military vehicle and can read dose to personnel in the range of 1 to 1000 rads. Satisfactory operation has been demonstrated and it has been shown no serious limitations on the accuracy of the dosimetry measurements are introduced by the reader. (Author)
