Abstract
An individual neutron dosemeter based on the CR-39 SSNT detector was i nvestigated during the Eurados-Cendos Joint Irradiation Programs 1990 and 1992. A polyethylene moderator was used as the (n,p) converter. Li -6-enriched LiF as well as Li2B4O7 with natural B were used as additio nal radiators. The important characteristics of an individual dosemete r, such as its energy response, angular response and linearity, are pr esented. The lowest detectable dose is also discussed.
