Neutron spectra in the energy range above 10{sup {minus}4} eV transmitted through iron shields succeedingly are measured with a BC501A liquid scintillation detector and the Bonner Ball detector using quasi-monoenergetic neutron sources generated via the {sup 7}Li(p,n) reaction by 43- and 68-MeV protons. Using the collimated source neutrons, the spectra are obtained on the neutron beam axis and at off-center positions. The calculations using the MORSE-CG and DOT3.5 codes with the DLC119 group cross-section data sets as well as the HETC-KFA2 code are carried out and compared with the measurements.
