An evaluation of the BD-100R rechargeable neutron bubble dosimeter.
The purpose of this paper is to present data gathered in the evaluation of the BD-100R neutron bubble dosimeter done at the University of Maryland and the Naval Research Lab. The performance of 12 dosimeters has been followed over 15 exposure-recharge cycles under a wide range of exposure conditions. Included in this paper are the results from tests on dose rate dependence, neutron energy dependence, beta and gamma exposure, and recharge cycle performance. A statistical analysis of the reusability performance of the dosimeter as a function of dose equivalent is also presented.
