  • Patent number: 5083028
    Abstract: Individual measuring device for the neutron dose equivalent comprising a detector (10) constituted by two identical diodes (13, 14). The first diode (13) is covered by a charged particle neutron converter (16). Converter (16) and the second diode (14) are covered by a protective screen (12). A differential measurement is performed between the signals from the two diodes (13, 14), which makes it possible to eliminate spurious noise. The result of the subtraction is multiplied by a given coefficient to obtain the neutron dose equivalent.Application to radiation protection.

  • Patent number: 4225785
    Abstract: Process for the production of a sensitive plate for an exoelectron dosimeter by producing on a support a deposit of a mixture of two compositions constituted on the one hand by a substance having traps for the electrons and able to emit exoelectrons by thermal or optical stimulation and on the other by a substance having a good ionic conductivity, wherein it comprises making a homogeneous mixture of the powders constituting the two said compositions, producing by means of a plasma arc torch a plasma jet in the vicinity of the support on which the deposit is to be made and spraying said powder mixture into the jet to obtain a deposit which adheres to the support.The exoelectron dosimeter comprises a support to which adheres a plate constituted by two substances, one of which has traps for the electrons and is able to emit exoelectrons by thermal or optical stimulation and the other has a good ionic conductivity.
