AN ENERGY SPECTRUM METHOD FOR THE CALCULATION OF BUILDUP FACTORS FOR 6 MEV GAMMA RADIATION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4294285
An improved differential energy spectrum method or calculating buildup factors through laminated shields for 6 Mev gamma radiation is presented. Buildup factors and energy spectra calculated with this method are compared to data presented in NYO-3075 and to the results of Monte Carlo calculations for laminated shields.
