The Attenuation of the Neutron Dose Equivalent in a Labyrinth through an Accelerator Shield
The attenuation of neutron dose equivalent in concrete labyrinths with rectangular bends was studied by means of neutron sources and rem counters. The number of bends, the length of each section, and the width of the labyrinth could be varied. The results of these measurements were compared with the dose equivalent attenuation found in a labyrinth at the DESY 7-GeV electron synchrotron, with pu...
متن کاملEstimation of neutron effective dose from DD and DT neutron generators and the design of appropriate shield for standing user
Neutron Generators (NG) are used as a neutron source for different applications. During recent years, major efforts are underway to develop a high yield compact NG. In this way, radiation protection aspects need to be considered during the operation of these high yield NGs. In this paper the neutron effective dose of a NG operator has been calculated using MCNPX Monte Carlo code. The results sh...
متن کاملDevelopment and Characterization of a Neutron Personal Dose Equivalent Monitor
The authors developed a new neutron-measuring instrument that was designed to measure a neutron personal dose equivalent, Hp(10). This instrument is composed of a conventional moderator-based neutron dose equivalent meter and a neutron shield made of borated polyethylene which covers a backward hemisphere to adjust the angular dependence. The whole design was determined on the basis of MCNP cal...
متن کاملUsing Zirconium Borohydride as Neutron Shield in LINAC head
Introduction: One of the concerns about using of high energy photons in radiotherapy is neutron contamination production. The threshold energy of photoneutron production in most materials with high atomic number is about 7MeV. Therefore, it seems to be logical that the main components with high atomic number elements used in the LINAC head have a large contribution to the neutr...
متن کاملImplementation of an Analytical Model for Leakage Neutron Equivalent Dose in a Proton Radiotherapy Planning System
Equivalent dose from neutrons produced during proton radiotherapy increases the predicted risk of radiogenic late effects. However, out-of-field neutron dose is not taken into account by commercial proton radiotherapy treatment planning systems. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of implementing an analytical model to calculate leakage neutron equivalent dose in a trea...
