DETERMINATION OF THE KERMA IN BIOLOGICAL TISSUE WITH GADOLINIUM IRRADIATED BY THE EPITHERMAL NEUTRON BEAM IN VVR-SM REACTOR AT THE INSTITUTE OF NUCLEAR PHYSICS OF THE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF UZBEKISTAN

摘要

The kerma in biological tissue with gadolinium under irradiation by epithermal neutrons in a special channel of the VVR-SM reactor at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan is determined. The neutron kerma rate is found to be K_n~(b.t) = 1.35·10~(-4) Gy/sec for biological tissue and K_n~(Gd) = 3.1·10~(-7) Gy/sec for 1 μg of natural gadolinium in 1 g of biological tissue.
