Abstract:

An aluminum threshold dosimetry technique has been adopted to measure neutron fluences at the Fort Hancock 14-MeV neutron source operated by the ECOM Nuclear Radiation Facility. A procedure is outlined for those wishing to measure dose delivered to irradiated samples. A description of the source including its calibration is provided, as is a theoretical clarification of the dosimetry technique.
