  Thermal neutron counters inside moderating shells are used widely at high energy accelerators. Response of these detectors to neutrons of different energy depends on material, size and shape of moderator. Radiators and absorbers can also modify this response significantly. The main application of counters in moderators is neutron dosimetry. Some dedicated sets of these detectors Bonner spheres) are even used sometimes to estimate neutron spectra. Monitoring of fast neutrons at modern accelerator and experimental facilities is very important to keep radiation damage of electronic components under control. One more step towards fast neutron measurements with thermal neutron counters in moderators is reported here. A set of neutron transport simulations is done to optimize moderator/radiator/absorber assemblies for higher sensitivity to neutrons with energies above 100 kev along with much lower sensitivity at lower energies. The resulting pair of the main and complementary monitors is designed.

  The experimental facility "Radiobiological test setup on accelerator U-70" was created on NRC "Kurchatov Institute" - IHEP, Protvino to carry out radiobiological and physical experiments on the extracted beam of carbon nuclei with an energy up to 450 MeV / nucleon. This test setup is designed as a center for collective use. Specialists from 5 Russian institutes participate in radiobiological research of the cell structures and laboratory animals, and in experiments on nuclear physics and dosimetry. The study of the biological effectiveness of carbon nuclei for the purposes of hadron therapy, as well as to evaluate the effect of high-energy ion irradiation on human cognitive functions are the main goals of these radiobiological experiments. The experiments performed on the radiobiological test setup at U-70 was briefly reported.

  Methodical issues of the use of detectors (such as thermoluminescent detectors (TLD) and radiochromic films (EBT3)) for dosimetric support of radiobiological experiments in a beam of carbon nuclei at the radiobiological facility (RBS) of the U-70 accelerator are considered. Details of such characteristics of detectors as: dependence of sensitivity on dose value, loss of sensitivity and loss of information, dependence of sensitivity on the magnitude of LET radiation are studied in detail. The possibility of taking these factors into account to reduce the measurement error of dose is discussed, the possibility of using these detectors for dosimetry in radiotherapy procedures from the point of view of meeting the accuracy requirements to the therapeutic dose from the carbon nuclei is estimated
