Chartier, J. Kurkdjian, D. Paul, C. Itié, G. Audoin, G. Pelcot, F. Posny] In order to fulfil the ICRP Recommendations, as given in ICRP Publication 60, regarding the primary dose limits and the revised quality factors, substantial improvements to the characteristics of current dosimetric instruments are necessary. This statement is particularly true for neutron monitoring; neutron individual dosemeters suffer from an evident lack of accuracy and sensitivity. As to area dosemeters, the energy dependence of their response is far from being satisfactory over the whole energy range. Until more elaborate systems appear on the market, a step towards obtaining more reliable values of dose derived from current devices can be obtained by considering carefully the calibration conditions for dosemeters. This paper deals with the calibration procedures as defined or in preparation in the relevant ISO committees, in the frame of the so-called realistic neutron spectra, which replicate some of the neutron spectra encountered at workplaces. Taking into account the energy response of a particular dosimetric device, the influence of several energy distributions of the calibration field on the indication of the dosemeter to be tested are quantified and compared with the calibration factor calculated from monoenergetic references. The experimental part of the work at the IPSN/SDOS facility in the Cadarache research centre is expected to illustrate the contribution of the realistic neutron spectra to the problem of calibration of radiation protection instruments.
