Neat device.

This post and Richard's previous thread on neutron dosage lead me to ask if anyone is wearing a neutron and/or x-ray badge to keep track of their personal exposure.

A number of years ago I was concerned about x-ray exposure so I tried a Landauer badge for a year or so. Wasn't enough to be concerned about. Now all I do is keep my Aware counter going in the lab (of course that won't detect the low energy x-rays).

Landauer uses nuclear track detectors for neutrons. The neat thing about the bubble device is that it doesn't look like you have to do any fancy processing to get a good estimate of dosage.
