As new nuclear accident dosimetrists are being trained by their respective institutions, there was a need for nuclear accident dosimeter (NAD) intercomparison exercises. This required a reference neutron and photon dose for nuclear accident dosimetrists to test their dosimeters and analysis. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Nuclear Criticality Safety Program (NCSP) supported an experimental campaign to characterize the Godiva-IV leakage dose in 2014 to support future exercises. A Passive Bonner Sphere Spectrometer (PBSS) was deployed by Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) to measure the neutron spectrum. CaF thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) were used to measure the photon doses. The results were documented in a report at that time but this paper reanalyzed and updated those results with other measurements in the interim. This work established updated reference neutron and photon doses as a function of radial distance from the center of Godiva-IV, which will be used for future NAD intercomparison exercises.
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.
