German researchers have developed a new personal monitoring device that can measure neutron and photon radiation simultaneously.
Physicist Marlies Luszik-Bhadra from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt has, together with a partner from industry, developed the device, which has a direct readout and an alarm function, in partnership with an industrial partner, the Synodys Group.
The dosimeter is suitable for a number of applications ranging from medicine to nuclear technology and space. For example, the radiation exposure of the crew of the International Space Station is currently measured with passive dosimeters which can only be evaluated later on the Earth. A test application of the new direct-readout dosimeter is now being discussed with the European Space Agency.
