Neutron reference radiations fields - Part 1: Characteristics and methods of production (ISO 8529-1:2021)

This document specifies the neutron reference radiation fields, in the energy range from thermal up to 20 MeV, for calibrating neutron-measuring devices used for radiation protection purposes and for determining their response as a function of neutron energy.
This document is concerned only with the methods of producing and characterizing the neutron reference radiation fields.
The neutron reference radiation fields specified are the following:
—   neutron fields from radionuclide sources, including neutron fields from sources in a moderator;
—   neutron fields produced by nuclear reactions with charged particles from accelerators;
—   neutron fields from reactors.

Neutronen-Referenzstrahlungsfelder - Teil 1: Charakteristika und Verfahren zur Erzeugung (ISO 8529-1:2021)

Dieses Dokument legt die Neutronen-Referenzstrahlungsfelder im Energiebereich von thermisch bis 20 MeV fest, die zur Kalibrierung von Neutronenmessgeräten für Strahlenschutzzwecke und zur Bestimmung ihres Ansprechvermögens in Abhängigkeit von der Neutronenenergie verwendet werden.
Dieses Dokument befasst sich nur mit den Verfahren zur Erzeugung und Charakterisierung der Neutronen-Referenzstrahlungsfelder. Die Verfahren zur Anwendung dieser Strahlungsfelder für Kalibrierungen sind in den Literaturhinweisen [1] und [2] beschrieben.
Die beschriebenen Neutronen-Referenzstrahlungsfelder sind:
–   Neutronenfelder von Radionuklidquellen, einschließlich Neutronenfelder von Quellen in einem Moderator;
–   Neutronenfelder, die durch Kernreaktionen mit geladenen Teilchen aus Beschleunigern erzeugt werden;
–   Neutronenfelder von Reaktoren.
Auf Grundlage ihrer Erzeugungs- und Anwendungsverfahren werden diese Neutronen-Referenzstrahlungsfel¬der für die Zwecke dieses Dokuments in den folgenden drei Abschnitten behandeltN1.
–   In Abschnitt 4 werden Radionuklid-Neutronenquellen mit breiten Spektren für die Kalibrierung von Neutro¬nenmessgeräten beschrieben. Diese Quellen sollten von Laboren verwendet werden, die sich mit der regelmäßigen Kalibrierung von Neutronenmessgeräten befassen, deren jeweilige Konstruktionsart bereits bauartgeprüft ist.
–   In Abschnitt 5 werden beschleunigererzeugte monoenergetische Neutronen und reaktorerzeugte Neutro¬nen mit breiten oder quasi-monoenergetischen Spektren zur Bestimmung des Ansprechvermögens von Neutronenmessgeräten in Abhängigkeit von der Neutronenenergie beschrieben. Da diese Neutronen-Referenzstrahlungsfelder in spezialisierten und gut ausgestatteten Laboren erzeugt werden, wird nur ein Minimum an experimentellen Details angegeben.
–   In Abschnitt 6 werden thermische Neutronenfelder beschrieben. Diese Felder können durch moderierte Radionuklidquellen, Beschleuniger oder Reaktoren erzeugt werden.

Referenčna polja nevtronskih sevanj - 1. del: Značilnosti in metode izdelave (ISO 8529-1:2021)

Ta dokument določa referenčna polja nevtronskih sevanj v energijskem območju od toplotnega do 20 MeV za umerjanje nevtronskih merilnikov, ki se uporabljajo za zaščito pred sevanjem in za ugotavljanje njihovega odziva glede na energijo nevtronov.
Ta dokument se nanaša le na metode izdelave in karakterizacije referenčnih polj nevtronskih sevanj.
Določa naslednja referenčna polja nevtronskih sevanj:
–   nevtronska polja iz virov radionuklidov, vključno z nevtronskimi polji iz virov v moderatorju;
–   nevtronska polja, ki nastanejo pri jedrskih reakcijah z nabitimi delci iz pospeševalnikov;
–   nevtronska polja iz reaktorjev.
