Abstract :
Aircraft crew exposure represents an important challenge of actual occupational exposure. The accumulation of new data on its level is therefore an important task of radiation dosimetry. There are few types of equipment able to characterize it. One of them is an Si-diode-based spectrodosemeter “Liulin”. It is an active device which measures total energy depositions in the semiconductor unit and after appropriate calibration, is also able to provide a separate estimation for both radiation components (non-neutron and neutron-like) of the radiation field on board. The device was fixed on board couple times in 2001, 2002, 2005 and 2006 for long-term measurements (60 days of operational time). This contribution brings the analysis of the database generated from accumulated data measured with this device and calculated by means of codes CARI-6 and EPCARD v3.2. Reasonably good agreement of all data sets could be stated in ordinary solar conditions. More measurements on aircraft flights in areas with higher vertical cut-off rigidities should be accomplished to accumulate more data to reach better statistics of integral and spectral values.
