  • Neutron dosimeter
    Patent number: 8642971
    Abstract: The invention relates to a neutron dosimeter comprising a neutron moderator (12), a first radiation detector (14), which is situated in the neutron moderator (12) and is surrounded by a first metal body (28) containing material that can be activated by neutrons, a second radiation detector (16), which is situated in the neutron moderator (12) close to the first radiation detector (14) and is surrounded by a second metal body (30) that substantially cannot be activated by neutrons. The first metal body (28) and the second metal body (30) are designed in such a way that they substantially have the same degree of absorption of photons. The dosimeter also comprises an evaluation circuit, which is connected to the radiation detectors and is equipped to suppress electrical impulses generated by ionising radiation using a pulse intensity that lies below a predefined pulse intensity threshold.
