Calculation of neutron and gamma-ray energy spectra for fusion reactor shield design: comparison with Experiment II
Measured and calculated neutron and gamma-ray energy spectra resulting from the transport of approx. 14 MeV neutrons through a 0.30-m-thick lithium hydride slab and through a 0.05-m-thick lead slab followed by 0.30 m of lithium hydride are compared. Also reported are comparisons of the measured and calculated neutron energy spectra behind an 0.80-m-thick assembly comprised of stainless steel type 304 and borated polyethylene. The spatial dependence of the gamma-ray energy deposition rate measured using thermoluminescent detectors is compared with calculated data. The calculated data obtained using two-dimensional radiation transport methods and ENDF/B-IV cross section data are in good agreement for all of the experimental configurations.
