Electronic neutron personal dosemeters : Their performance in mixed radiation fields in nuclear power plants

This work describes spectral distributions of neutrons obtained as function of energy and direction at four workplace fields at the Kriimmel reactor in Germany. Values of personal dose equivalent H p (10) and effective dose E are determined for different directions of a person's orientation in these fields and readings of personal neutron dosemeters-especially electronic dosemeters-are discussed with respect to H p (10) and E.
