The problem considered is that of measuring the fast neutron tissue dose. A special proportional counter has been designed whose response to collimated neutrons is such that the number of counts produced is approximately proportional to dose, when the neutron energy is between 0.2 Mev and 10 Mev. The response has been tested experimentally with monoergic neutrons of various energies between 365 kev and 5.2 Mev and at 14 Mev and is in good agreement with the dose curve.
