Abstract

The main goal of the Reactor Dosimetry is to provide information (reaction rates, fluence, fluence rate…) for the interpretation of experiments irradiated in critical mock-up, test reactors or power nuclear reactors. Various techniques are used, including analysis of irradiated activation or fission dosimeters whose radioactivity is measured afterwards.
