The Calculation of Fast-neutron Attenuation Probabilities Through a Nine- Inch Polyethylene Slab and Comparison With Experimental Data

Year: 1963

Type: article

Abstract: Calculations of neutron penetration probabilities were performed to evaluate the Monte Carlo Multilayer Slab Penetration Procedure. A 9-in. polyethylene alab was chosen for the calculations and results were compared with experimental data. The calculated and measured dose rates agree within 20% for all exit polar angles. The calculations indicate that incident neutrons with energies less than 2.5 Mev do not contribute significantly to the transmitted dose rate. (auth)
