Abstract :
A computer code NDOSEQ-60, written in FORTRAN 77, is presented. This code simulates the equivalent dose response of the electrochemically etched CR-39 based dosimeter to fast neutron in the energy range of 70 keV to 20 MeV. The code determines the response of the dosimeter consisting of CR-39 with up to five hydrogenous front radiators, as a function of neutron energy and angle of incidence. In the light of this code, a design of the energy and direction independent fast neutron dosimeter is proposed
