Abstract RUS instruments, developed by the authors, are described that enable one to measure the flux and tissue dose rate of intermediate neutrons, which make a significant contribution to neutron tissue dose outside reactor shielding. The neutron dose composition was investigated in experiments at the IRT-1000 reactor, and it was shown that it depends essentially on shielding composition. It was established that the neutron tissue dose computed from readings taken with the RPN-1 instrument were actually too low by a factor amounting to one and one half outside water shielding and to five outside concrete shielding.
