Research progress in personal neutron dose monitoring / 中国辐射卫生

ABSTRACT

With the extensive use of neutron sources in industry, medicine, and scientific research, the number of people exposed to neutron has been increasing, which highlights the importance of personal neutron dose monitoring in the field of radiation protection. In the past decades, researchers have developed and improved a variety of techniques and methods for personal neutron dose monitoring. This paper focuses on the problems and research progress of track dosimeters (solid-state nuclear track dosimeters and fluorescent nuclear track dosimeters), luminescent dosimeters (thermoluminescent dosimeters and optically stimulated luminescent dosimeters), and bubble dosimeters in personal neutron dose monitoring.
