Abstract:
The impact of the introduction of ICRP Publication 103 on neutron dosimetry was analysed by calculating effective doses in various operational neutron fields, using dose conversion coefficients derived from the recommendations given in ICRP 103 and ICRP 60. It was found from the analysis that effective doses based on ICRP 103 are generally smaller than those based on ICRP 60, mainly owing to the revision of w(R) assigned to neutrons. The results also indicate that H*(10) can provide a conservative estimate for ICRP 103-based effective doses in most neutron fields. These tendencies suggest that the radiological protection system currently adopted in accelerators and nuclear facilities can be maintained after the introduction of ICRP 103, with respect to neutron dosimetry.
