Abstract
THE rapid development of atomic energy in progress all over the world has posed a major problem in radiation hazard control. Knowledge of the safe dose-levels is, in some cases, not as quantitative as could be desired. Doses of both slow and fast neutrons are in this category1, and it is therefore important to improve this situation by obtaining a history of the doses received by those individuals exposed to neutrons in the course of their work.
