Calibration of personal albedo neutron dosemeter for mixed gamma-neutrons fields

The Dosimetry Lab use personal albedo dosemeter in order to measure the neutron dose equivalent. Measurement of the personal dose equivalent for neutrons is a difficult task because personal albedo neutron dosemeter is energy-dependent, becoming less sensitive as the energy of the neutrons is increased. To obtain a realistic characterization of the dosemeter, a set of irradiations have recently been carried out at the Czech Metrology Institute – Inspectorate for Ionizing Radiation at 241 Am-Be and 252 Cf sources. The obtained values are then compared with the neutron dose calculated using a dose
