Monte Carlo Calculations Using MCNP4B for an Optimal Shielding Design of a 14-MeV Neutron Source
The shielding for 14-MeV neutrons from a D-T generator at SLAC needs to be optimized in terms of shield thickness and cost. Shielding calculations were made using the MCNP4B Monte Carlo code and the ENDF/B-VI cross section set. A few materials were studied: iron, borated polyethylene, three types of normal and heavy concrete, and mixtures of iron and borated polyethylene. The effects of shieldi...
متن کاملThe comparison between simple and advanced shielding materials for the shield of portable neutron sources
Background: Monte Carlo simulations play a vital role in the calculation of the necessary shielding both for neutrons and photons. Advanced and simple shielding materials against neutron and gamma rays were compared by simulation using the MCNB4B Monte Carlo code. The simulations were carried out for the three common neutron sources, namely the 252Cf, the 241Am/Be and the DD neutron generator w...
متن کاملComparison of GATE/GEANT4 with EGSnrc and MCNP for electron dose calculations at energies between 15 keV and 20 MeV.
The GATE Monte Carlo simulation platform based on the GEANT4 toolkit has come into widespread use for simulating positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging devices. Here, we explore its use for calculating electron dose distributions in water. Mono-energetic electron dose point kernels and pencil beam kernels in water are calculated for dif...
متن کاملConcentration Measurement of 12 Elements in Five Herbal Plants Using Neutron Activation Analysis Approach
Introduction: Nowadays, many people use medicinal plants to manage diseases; therefore, detailed knowledge of the type and level of elements present in these plants is of prominent importance.The present study aimed to determine the weight fraction of 12 elements in the five most common medicinal plants in Iran. The names of these plants are caraway (Carum carvi), savo...
متن کاملFeasibility Study and Installation of Thermal Neutron Driven 14 MeV Neutron Converter into the TRIGA Research Reactor
Tentative design and implementation of an irradiation facility are described, which will add a 14 MeV component to the neutron spectrum in a thermal research reactor irradiation facility. The idea is to exploit the Li(n,T)He reaction in a blanket of lithium in a deuterated environment, placed in a thermal reactor irradiation channel. Existing literature describing similar devices is reviewed, t...
