- Abstract
The photon contribution to ambient dose equivalent in several wide-spectrum reference neutrons fields of the Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety were measured using a Geiger–Müller counter. For the investigated fields, the ratio of photon to neutron ambient dose equivalent ranged between 0.03 and 0.20. The results show that the Geiger–Müller tube is a versatile instrument for dosimetry in mixed photon–neutron fields if sufficient information for the calculation of corrections is available.
