Application of bonner spheres spectrometer in Californium-252 neutron field dosimetry

Abstract

For the health physicist, it is a difficult problem to determine the neutron dose equivalent. There are several different procedures to solve such problem. In this paper the neutron fluence energy spectrum, the dose and the dose equivalent due to a Cf-252 neutron source are determine using a Bonner spheres spectrometer and the BUNKUIT computer code.
