Overview

This is the first in a series of three International Standards for the calibration of dosimeters and neutron dose rate meters for radiation protection purposes. It describes the properties and production procedures of neutron reference radiation fields to be used for calibrations. The document specifies the neutron reference radiation fields, in the energy range from thermal up to 20 MeV, for calibrating neutron-measuring devices used for radiation protection purposes and for determining their response as a function of neutron energy. The neutron reference radiation fields specified are the following: - neutron fields from radionuclide sources, including neutron fields from sources in a moderator; - neutron fields produced by nuclear reactions with charged particles from accelerators; - neutron fields from reactors. The procedures for applying these radiation fields for calibrations are described in ISO 8529-2 and ISO 8529-3.
