| description | Because of the increase in the demand for the calibration of neutron detectors, there is a need for new calibration services. In this context, the Calibration Laboratory of Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares (IPEN), São Paulo, which already offers calibration services of radiation detectors with standard X, gamma, beta and alpha beams, has recently projected a new test laboratory for neutron detectors. This work evaluated the contribution of dispersed neutron radiation in this laboratory, using the Cone Shadow Method and a Bonner Sphere Spectrometer to take the measurements at a distance of 100 cm from the neutron source. The dosimetric quantities Ambient Dose Equivalent Rate (Ḣ*(10)) and Ambient Dose Equivalent Conversion Coefficient (h*(10)) were obtained at the laboratory, allowing the calibration of detectors. |
