Evaluation of the USAF RHL PIC-PRD, Bendix 1200 MR, DCA 005, and Victoreen 541L Pocket Personnel Radiation Dosimeters.

Abstract

The energy and angular dependence exhibited by the Bendix 1200 MR, Victoreen 541L, DCA 005, and USAF PN 754394 pocket ionization chamber low energy dosimeters has been evaluated. Chambers were exposed to x-rays of 9, 21, 42, 64, 84, 120, and 170 keV effective and their accuracy (measured/actual) computed. All radiations were delivered at 0 degrees, 45 degrees, 90 degrees, 135 degrees, and 180 degrees and their angular dependence (response at X degrees relative to response at 90 degrees) reported.
