Results show that plastic and liquid organic scintillators can be used for fast neutrons and gammaradiation dosimetry, and the dosimetric properties of these scintillators when measuring the gamma-radiation dose power are no worse than inAIR-FILLED ALUMINUM-WALL IONIZATION CHAMBERS AND THE SENSITIVITY OF THE SCINTILLATORS IS CONSIDERABLY HIGHER AT A SMALLER VOLUME. The fact that organic scintillators are equally sensitive to gamma-radiation and fast neutrons somewhat hampers the measurement of the fast neutron dose power against a background of gamma-radiation. However, by measuring with two instruments, a dosimeter with a scintillation sensor and a gamma-dosimeter insensitive to fast neutrons, it was possible to avoid such difficulty. (Author).
