Abstract
CaF2 thermoluminescence dosimeters (TDL) were used to measure the apparent absorbed dose due to 16N-decay radiation, such as is found in nuclear reactor coolant or in air due to the 16O(n,p)16N activation by fast neurons. By comparison with an ionization chamber calibrated with a 60Co source, it was found that the TLD underestimated the dose for about 7-MeV γ-rays by a factor 1.8, while the ionization chamber reading was low by a factor 2.6 when compared with the calculated dose.
