Penetration of Neutrons From a Point Fission Source Through Carbon and Hydrocarbons

Year: 1956

Type: report

Abstract: Moment calculations have been performed to study the penetration of fission spectrum neutrons through carbon and hydrocarbons.For pure carbon, the neutron spectrum as a function of penetration depth and the "age" to 1.44 ev have been determined.For hydrocarbons having the formulae CH, CH^ 9, CH2, o> CH2.1 the fast neutron dose has been determined as a function of penetration depth and an effective removal cross section of carbon has been evaluated.
