Correction to "Calorimetric Measurement of the Carbon Kerma Factor for 14.6-MeV Neutrons" by J. C. McDonald

The report corrected has a serious calculation error in the compensation for the γ-ray kerma of the mixed radiation field used to make the measurements. The error is explained and the value of the carbon kerma factor for 14.6-MeV neutrons is recalculated from the experimental data. Comparison of thi...

Zusammenfassung:The report corrected has a serious calculation error in the compensation for the γ-ray kerma of the mixed radiation field used to make the measurements. The error is explained and the value of the carbon kerma factor for 14.6-MeV neutrons is recalculated from the experimental data. Comparison of this value to those determined by others suggests that the calorimetric technique described has a significant error.
