Study on the response of indigenously developed CaSO4:Dy phosphor-based neutron dosemeter.

abstract：:Although numerous models have been developed for occupational and medical internal dosimetry, they may not be applicable to an accident situation. Published dose coefficients relate effective dose to intake, but if acute deterministic effects are possible, effective dose is not a useful parameter. Consequently, dose r...
