BIOKIS-nDOSE
The average neutron dose of 17.2μSv/day ±20% has been estimated. The bismuth stack
detector is still under analysis and the experimental results will be published in future papers.
All results presented in the listed publication are preliminary results and proved that the
experiment was performed as expected. Analyses are on the way for each one of the
experiment involved in BIOKIS.
