Abstract:
A neutron measuring method is provided. The method includes
utilizing a thermoluminescent crystal (102) in a thermoluminescent dosimeter (101) to emit thermoluminescence or scintillation light, wherein the thermoluminescence is emitted when the thermoluminescent crystal (102) absorbs and stores ionizing radiation emitted by a metallic body (110) that has been activated and subsequently releases the stored ionizing radiation in the form of the thermoluminescence when heated, and wherein the scintillation light is emitted when the thermoluminescent crystal (102) converts the ionizing radiation emitted by the metallic body (110) that has been activated into the scintillation light;
using a photodetector (103) to measure intensity of the thermoluminescence or the scintillation light; and
calculating neutron intensity at which the metallic body (110) is located based on the measured intensity of the thermoluminescence or the scintillation light.
