CALCULATIONS AND NOMOGRAMS FOR USE IN A NEUTRONINDUCED ACTIVITY PREDICTION SYSTEM,

Abstract

A metho is described for calculating the expected induced activity gamma dose rate, given a thermal neutron flux distribution varying only with depth in the ground. The results of a number of such calculations are discussed. A set of nomograms incorporating the results of the calculations is presented, and their construction is discussed. The nomograms themselves constitute a rapid and convenient calculating device for use in an induced activity dose rate prediction system. (Author)
