A method has been studied of estimating the minimum detectable dose equivalent of fast neutrons for measurement of recoil proton tracks in NTA film. Poisson distribution was applied in estimation of the minimum detectable number of tracks. Factors such as sensitivity of the film for fast neutrons, energy dependency of the film response, and latent image fading of the tracks were taken into consideration in the estimation.The minimum detectable dose equivalent was affected by fluctuation in the number of tracks due to background radiation and degree of the affection depended on the measured area. The minimum detectable dose equivalent decreased by increasing the measuring area of background radiation even if the measuring area of neutron-irradiated film was small. The relation between the minimum detectable dose equivalent and the measuring area of neutron-irradiated film was obtained considering the effect of latent image fading.
