NEUTRON PENETRATION BY THE MONTE CARLO METHOD

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4322368
A calculation was made of the penetration of plane slabs of Pb and B loaded polyethylene by a plane parallel source of fast neutrons. The neutron energies used were 14, 10. 6.5. and 3 Mev. The slab thickness ranged up to 6 mean free paths and in one instance to 9 mean free paths. The spectral distributions of the transmitted and reflected neutrons were recorded as well as the volume distributed source of gamma rays resulting from captures and inelastic scatterings. (auth)
