Abstract
- A specialized dose rate measurement device that was designed for monitoring the thyroid dose of children and adults after reactor accidents was tested. In measurements with neck phantoms and a human patient, the device was found to be capable of measuring the required low dose rates, even within increased ambient radiation. It is suitable for the application in emergency care centers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
