Neutron-dosimeter performance and associated calibrations at nuclear power plants

This report addresses problems associated with the calibration and use of personnel neutron dosimeters and monitoring instruments. Four particular items are addressed: the threshold response of NTA film; a discussion of dosimeter and remmeter calibrations performed using a D/sub 2/O-moderated /sup 252/Cf source; the edge effect created by placing the neutron-sensitive elements of albedo dosimeters close to the phantom edge; and the response of various personnel neutron dosimeters inside containment at nuclear power plants.
