N2 - There are a number of etched-track neutron dosimetry systems in routine use for personal monitoring. In this paper, the operational and dosimetric characteristics of these systems are summarized. Brief details are given of the dosemeter design, the material used, its quality control procedures, background, processing and read methods, neutron energy range, energy and angle dependence of response, decision threshold, linearity, signal storage stability, calibration methods including normalization, effect of influence quantities, and the advantages and disadvantages of the systems in routine application.
