What is ISO 8529-1 about?
ISO 8529-1 is the first of a set of three International Standards concerning the calibration of dosemeters and dose rate meters for neutron radiation for protection purposes.
ISO 8529-1 is the first part in a multi-series that specifies the neutron reference radiation fields, in the energy range from thermal up to 20 MeV, for calibrating neutron-measuring devices used for radiation protection purposes and for determining their response as a function of neutron energy.
The neutron reference radiation fields specified are the following:
Neutron fields from radionuclide sources, including neutron fields from sources in a moderator
