Retrospective thermal neutron fluence determination using lithium-ion mobile telephone batteries

Creator:

Dorrell, Nick J.

Abstract:

Fortuitous dosimeters are radiosensitive objects carried by an individual who was exposed to radiation. These objects can be analyzed some time after exposure and the results can be used to aid in calculating radiation fields and doses received by individuals. Items that make good fortuitous dosimeters are those that are...

Prototyping a triple-layer phoswich detection system

Creator:

Duncan, Christopher L.

Abstract:

Multi-layer optically coupled scintillation based radiation detectors, known as phoswich detectors, have rapidly evolved in recent years. During the same time, digital signal processing has improved radiation discrimination accuracy and enhanced reliability, while reducing complexity and size of traditional analog signal processing methods. A new generation of high-speed radiation detectors...

A comparison of measured and simulated exposure rates near tungsten-based medical transport pigs

Creator:

Newman, Errol D. I.

Abstract:

A lack of data concerning tungsten-based medical shields, specifically unit dose transport pigs, may lead to unnecessary exposure to medical personnel. Available research comparing lead to sintered tungsten shows that tungsten is approximately 1.5 - 10.0 times more effective as a radiation shield. However, this research lacks high-energy vs. low-energy...
