| Zusammenfassung | The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) TC85/SC2/WG2 has convened a working group to develop a standard dealing with the production, characterisation and use of reference neutron radiation fields simulating those found in the workplace. This standard is being developed to provide guidance to the laboratories developing simulated practical reference neutron fields, and to the users of these fields. The ISO currently recommends four reference neutron spectra for the calibration of radiation protection instruments and dosemeters. However, due to the energy dependence in the dose equivalent responses of these devices, it is useful to develop additional neutron spectra for calibration purposes. This standard will describe the methods of production and the expected characteristics of simulated practical neutron fields. The types of facilities considered include those using radionuclide neutron sources, accelerators and reactors. Facilities producing high energy neutrons for the calibration of instruments, and dosemeters used at accelerator laboratories and in aircraft for in-flight monitoring are also considered. The status of this standard is being presented now in order to provide a progress report and to elicit comments and suggestions before the standard is finalised. |
