Abstract
The International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements, ICRU, have recommended, in ICRU Report 95, the adoption of new operational quantities for use in radiation protection monitoring. Their implementation will pose problems for instrument manufacturers supplying area dosemeters and for individual monitoring services providing personal dosemeters for radiation workers. The problems arise for photon, neutron and beta dosimetry, but this paper deals solely with neutron personal dosemeters based on poly-allyl diglycol carbonate (PADC) plastic. It presents information on the problems to be expected based on data from calibrations of actual personal neutron dosemeters in terms of the existing dose quantities.
