Abstract: A compact low cost track registration detector for radon gas and radon daughter products includes a housing with a removable closure cap for retaining a strip of track registration material having the property of forming damage tracks along paths traversed by alpha particles. The strip is retained within the housing by integrally formed upstanding ribs located closely adjacent diametrically opposite inner side wall portions of the housing, a first set of ribs forming a pedestal support and second set of longer ribs providing transverse support. A microporous filter impervious to particles and radon daughter products admits only radon gas to the interior of the housing. The apertured closure cap has a central solid portion providing a radiation shield for the upper surface of the strip to enable the lower exposure surface to be readily distinguished after the detector has been retrieved from an exposure site.

Abstract: A personnel neutron dosimeter consisting of a single recorder and a (n, .alpha.) radiator wherein exposure to two levels of neutron energy produces differing plural forms of damage sites in the recorder, which damage sites, upon development, will differ sufficiently in character or as to location on the recorder to permit separate identification and measurement of the neutron dose received from two portions of the neutron spectrum.
