Design and characterization of next-generation tissue equivalent proportional counters for use in low energy neutron fields
Ali, Fawaz (2014-04-01)Tissue Equivalent Proportional Counters (TEPCs) are devices that can measure the radiation dose levels for the mixed neutron and gamma ray fields that are encountered in nuclear facilities. TEPC designs typically consist ... -
Hot particle dosimetry using a wall-less tissue equivalent proportional counter
Boyd, Craige (2023-05-01)Highly radioactive specks of irradiated nuclear fuel or activated material, colloquially known as 'hot particles', can enter the workplace or external environment from nuclear power plant operations such as refurbishment ... -
Investigation and use of dual (twin) low pressure proportional counters for active neutron-gamma mixed field dosimetry
Forouzan, Faezeh (2023-05-01)This thesis tackles accurate neutron-gamma mixed field dosimetry in radiation protection and radiation biology. While passive dosimeters are suitable for measuring low radiation levels, active instruments are necessary in ...
