Abstract

It is shown that by calibrating neutron albedo dosemeters under the proper conditions, two complicating effects will essentially cancel out, allowing accurate calibrations with no need for explicit corrections. The 'proper conditions' are: a large room ((8 m on a side), use of a D2O moderated 252Cf source, and a source-to-phantom calibration distance of ~70 cm.
