Calculations for Use with the Fast Neutron Meter,

Abstract

In order to make the necessary calculations on tolerance dose and to determine the calibration of the neutron meters, the information given here is necessary. The energy of the neutrons, the composition of tissue and of gases in the ionization chambers, the cross sections of the various atoms involved, and the fraction of energy lost per collision must be known.
