Abstract

Several measurements and calculations were performed to illustrate the differences that can be observed in the determination of exposure rate or ambient dose equivalent rate used for testing radiation detection systems against consensus standards. The large variations observed support our recommendation that better consistency in the test radiation fields can be achieved by specifying the source activity and testing distance instead of the field strength.

关于提高用于国土安全应用的辐射探测仪器测试中使用的辐射场一致性的建议。

进行了几项测量和计算，以说明在确定照射率或环境剂量当量率时可以观察到的差异，用于根据共识标准测试辐射探测系统。观察到的大变化支持了我们的建议，即通过指定源活度和测试距离而不是场强，可以实现测试辐射场的更好一致性。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology is the flagship publication of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It has been published under various titles and forms since 1904, with its roots as Scientific Papers issued as the Bulletin of the Bureau of Standards. In 1928, the Scientific Papers were combined with Technologic Papers, which reported results of investigations of material and methods of testing. This new publication was titled the Bureau of Standards Journal of Research. The Journal of Research of NIST reports NIST research and development in metrology and related fields of physical science, engineering, applied mathematics, statistics, biotechnology, information technology.
