RELAXATION LENGTH OF FAST NEUTRON DOSE RATE IN HYDROGENOUS MATERIALS AS GIVEN BY ALBERT WELTON TYPE POINT KERNELS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4792242

A general analytic expression for the relation length ( lambda ) of fast neutron dose rate or flux is derived from the AlbertWelton type point fission kernel. The application of the expression for lambda and additional characteristics which can be derived from lt are described. As an example of application, a graph is plotted of lambda as a function of distance from a point fission source in water as given by the derived expression using two different sets of alpha constants. The use and form of the Albert-Welton type kernel are briefly descrlbed and some of the established sets of a constants are listed. (auth)
