title: The system of radiation protection for neutrons: does it fit the purpose?
abstract: The present system of radiation protection for neutrons is reviewed with particular reference to the development of the protection quantities and their relationships with the operational quantities. Some of the shortcomings of the system are outlined, and the difficulties of measuring the operational quantities. Suggestions are made for future developments.
