DOSE MEASUREMENTS FOR NEUTRON STREAMING IN DUCTS,
Abstract
The purpose of this report is to describe an operating facility and present some preliminary findings concerning the streaming of neutrons in ducts of protective shelters. The experimental results are compared to a simplified theoretical treatment using the albedo approach. Dose measurements were obtained in a 3 x 3-foot concrete duct for thermal, 2.5-Mev, and 14.7-Mev neutrons using a 12-inch spherical energy-independent dosimeter. In the second leg, for all energies, the dose was found to have a higher drop-off than the theory predicted. Reasons for the discrepance are examined and a comparison of effective albedos is made for various energies. (Author)
