Abstract
A few methods for neutron dose measurement have been examined. In this paper, a simple method for dose calibration by a low power reactor is introduced. Calibration with the theoretically calculated values of some neutron dosimeters was made. This calibration was based upon the neutron flux values estimated by the activation method using the neutron field of UTR-B operating at 0.1W. On The calibration with the Bendix fast neutron dosimeter and thermal neutron dosimeters, the experimental values were found to be close enough to the theoritical values to be of practical use from the operational health physics stand point.
