Influence of Neutron Radiation Weighting Factor to Neutron Dose Monitoring

The paper introduces the concept and development of radiation weighting factor, and analyzes the relationship between neutron radiation weighting factor and dose monitoring. Based on the neutron energy, the value of weighting factor was given. For designing the neutron dose equivalent instrument, the variations of quality factor and radiation weighting factor must be considered, and the calibration of instrument according to new radiation weighting factor is necessary.
