The neutron monitor comprises of an Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dosimeter and a heavy ion sensitive Polyallyl Diglycol Carbonate (PADC) plastic to measure potential occupational doses from fast neutrons, beta rays and gamma rays.
| OSL | PADC | |
|---|---|---|
| Directly Measures |
skin dose - Hp(0.07) whole body dose - Hp(10) |
whole body dose - Hp(10) |
| Minimum Detectable Dose (MDD) | 50 µSv | 100 µSv |
| Minimum Reportable Dose (MRD)* | 100 µSv | 200 µSv |
| Uncertainty at the MRD** | 30% | 50% |
* MRD is based on the Limit of Quantification as defined by “Determination and Interpretation of Characteristic Limits for Radioactivity Measurements” (IAEA/AQ/48)
** Uncertainty at the MRD is based on the 95% confidence limit
