Neutron Spectrometry - Operation HENRE (Program 6)

Abstract

Measurements of neutron spectra with nuclear emulsions at various distances from a 14 MeV neutron source were made at the Nevada Test Site during Operation HENRE. These measurements and supplementary ones made using the neutron-flux integrator developed at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, and a version of Bonner's spectrometer, are compared with theoretical calculations Overall agreement was found to be good.
