gamma radiation.

Yor this reason we

introduce the use of BFy and Graphite Chambers,

The BF3 Chamber has a six centi~
meter polyethylene moderator, the purpose of
moderating the incoming fast neutrons and

enhancing the response of this chamber to
neutron Badiation; the Graphite Chamber
hae a negligible neutron response so that
the two of them oan be used for the purpose
of measuring the gamma dose rate and the

neutron dose rate,

’

fhe relative response of the BF
Chamber to neutron radiation is an orier of
magnitude greater than that due to the

Tissue Equivalent Chember,

And so, this

improves the reaolution as it were,

The response of the Tissue Equie
<
valent Chamber except for possible variations
of the dose delivered in the human body from

multiple neutron collisions as opposed to
single collision is essentially flat with
respect to energy,

The flux required to produce a -

millirem per hour at 500 KEV may be ten

times, or rather three times that required

at ten MEV, but nonethelese, the energy
