Abstract

Upon the completion of characterizing the Godiva-IV leakage dose in 2014 and a nuclear accident dosimeter (NAD) intercomparison exercise in 2016, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Nuclear Criticality Safety Program (NCSP) supported an experimental campaign to characterize the Flattop leakage dose in 2017. Two Rotating Neutron Spectrometers (ROSPEC) and a Passive Neutron Spectrometer (PNS) were used to measure the neutron spectra. The neutron spectra were converted to neutron dose using dose conversion factors. CaF

:Mn thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs), LiF TLDs, and radiophotoluminescence dosimeters were used to measure the photon doses. The data were documented in a report at that time but this paper reanalyzed and updated results. This work established updated reference neutron and photon doses as a function of radial distance from the center of Flattop, which will be used for future NAD intercomparison exercises.

平顶泄漏剂量表征

在2014年完成Godiva-IV泄漏剂量表征和2016年核事故剂量计（NAD）相互比较之后，美国能源部（DOE）核临界安全计划（NCSP）在2017年支持了Flattop泄漏剂量表征的实验活动。用两台旋转中子能谱仪（ROSPEC）和一台被动中子能谱仪（PNS）测量中子能谱。用剂量转换因子将中子能谱转换为中子剂量。用CaF2:Mn热释光剂量计、LiF热释光剂量计和放射性光致发光剂量计测量光子剂量。这些数据在当时的一份报告中有记录，但本文对结果进行了重新分析和更新。这项工作建立了更新的参考中子和光子剂量作为从Flattop中心径向距离的函数，这将用于未来的NAD相互比较练习。

期刊介绍： The journal seeks to publish papers that present advances in the following areas: spontaneous and stimulated luminescence (including scintillating materials, thermoluminescence, and optically stimulated luminescence); electron spin resonance of natural and synthetic materials; the physics, design and performance of radiation measurements (including computational modelling such as electronic transport simulations); the novel basic aspects of radiation measurement in medical physics. Studies of energy-transfer phenomena, track physics and microdosimetry are also of interest to the journal. Applications relevant to the journal, particularly where they present novel detection techniques, novel analytical approaches or novel materials, include: personal dosimetry (including dosimetric quantities, active/electronic and passive monitoring techniques for photon, neutron and charged-particle exposures); environmental dosimetry (including methodological advances and predictive models related to radon, but generally excluding local survey results of radon where the main aim is to establish the radiation risk to populations); cosmic and high-energy radiation measurements (including dosimetry, space radiation effects, and single event upsets); dosimetry-based archaeological and Quaternary dating; dosimetry-based approaches to thermochronometry; accident and retrospective dosimetry (including activation detectors), and dosimetry and measurements related to medical applications.
