What is Personal Dosimetry and Area Monitoring for Neutrons and Radon in Workplaces about?
The ÿrst successful applications of damage track detectors in radiation protection have been made in the early 1970s in personal dosimetry of neutrons, radon and its progenies. Most of the scientists actively engaged in the solution of the complex problem of personal neutron dosimetry by damage track detectors-SSNTD, have attempted to develop individual radon monitoring for exposure in mines by using the same SSNTDs. In late 1970s and the early 1980s, new radon monitoring devices based on SSNTDs have been developed to measure radon in soil, mainly for applications in uranium prospecting or more generally in earth sciences. Most of the radon monitors, developed since then for completely di erent applications in mind, have been used later for large scale survey of indoor radon. With the current implementation within Europe of the European Union Directive 96=29, applications of damage track detectors will increase drastically, specially for the assessment of the exposure of the workers to natural sources of radiation. In this case, the early work on personal neutron=radon dosimetry, is highly valuable to tackle these new problems of individual monitoring.
