Abstract
The new method for measuring ambient dose equivalent in mixed neutron- gamma fields has been proposed. It has been shown that the moderator t echnique, up to now used for neutron monitoring only, can be adjusted for monitoring both gamma and neutron radiation. The fluence response of a device consisting of a He-3 proportional counter and 203 mm diame ter polythene sphere has been evaluated and compared with the ambient dose equivalent conversion factors for photons.
