| Popis: |
A technique has been developed for radiation protection purposes whereby it is possible to measure the dose-equivalent due to neutrons from a dual energy medical linear accelerator using a conventional BF3 neutron remmeter to calibrate gold foils. This technique has been applied to measuring the neutron dose-equivalent from a Philips SL75-20 medical linear accelerator. The tenth value distance for the entrance maze is 3.3 +/- 0.5m compared to a typically quoted value of 5m. This suggests that the use of wood and boron tiles in the construction of the entrance maze can reduce neutron propagation down the maze. |
