ABSTRACT:
A high fluence neutron dosimetry method is described, including the steps of: exposing a dosimeter containing an alpha-emitting target isotope to neutron irradiation to form an alpha-emitting product isotope; determining the alpha decay rates of the target nucleus and the product nucleus; and using known alpha decay constants for the target nucleus and the product nucleus and the determined alpha decay rates of the target nucleus and the product nucleus to determine the neutron capture rate of the product nucleus.
