A lightweight neutron remmeter for measuring neutron equivalent dose with a response
range from the thermal energy levels to around 14 MeV is achieved using a center
BF3 proportional neutron detector moderated by enclosure within a cylindrical
center tube and two adjacent BF3 proportional neutron detectors. A cylindrical
hydrogenous material covered by a boron loaded rubber wrap moderates the center
detector within the center tube. The adjacent neutron detectors are uncovered.
In this manner the center detector responds to fast neutrons and the over response
to thermal and intermediate energy neutrons is corrected by the adjacent neutron
detectors readings and an algorithm implemented by a RADIAC.
