Troxler has successfully completed proficiency tests under ANSI N13.11 - 1993 in the test categories shown in the table below. With four independent detection elements, the badge can measure dose from beta, gamma, x-ray, or neutron radiation over a wide range of energies. The badge may be used for monitoring personnel in medical, industrial, and other nuclear applications. The normal badge measurement ranges are discussed below. For monitoring needs which fall outside the normal ranges, please contact Troxler Radiation Monitoring Services for advice.
Beta calibration is geometry dependent.
The badge detects fast neutrons by the albedo effect. Accurate dose assessment requires the use of a source-specific calibration factor. The standard calibration factor is based on an Am-Be neutron source. Calibration factors for other neutron sources, e.g. Cf-252, can be used if requested by a customer. The minimum reportable dose is 10 millirem for gamma radiation and x-rays.
