MONTE CARLO CALCULATIONS OF THE PENETRATION OF NORMALLY INCIDENT NEUTRON BEAMS THROUGH CONCRETE,
Abstract
The 05R Monte Carlo code (See ORNL-3622, NASA N65-17892) was adapted to calculate fast-neutron doses within and outside of concrete slab shields. Such calculations were performed for a variety of shield thicknesses (0 to 180 cm) and for various monoenergetic sources from 0.7 to 14 MeV. The concrete chosen is ordinary concrete with approximately 6% water content. Results are plotted as tissue kerma versus penetration distance for each source energy. The source is in each case a broad normally incident beam. (Author)
