Development 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 کاملAirborne microorganisms from waste containers.
In physician's offices and biomedical labs, biological waste is handled every day. This waste is disposed of in waste containers designed for holding red autoclave bags. The containers used in these environments are closed hands-free containers, often with a step pedal. While these containers protect the user from surface-borne microorganisms, the containers may allow airborne microorganisms to...
متن کاملNeutron Energy Spectra and Dose Equivalent Rates from Heavy-ion Reactions below 20 Mev/u Using the Phits Code *
Neutron energy spectra from 6.25 MeV/u C ions incident on a copper target, 10 MeV/u C ions incident carbon, copper, and lead targets, and O ions incident on a copper target have been calculated using the Quantum Molecular Dynamics model (QMD) [1] coupled to the Generalized Evaporation Model (GEM) [2] in the Particle and Heavy Ion Transport Code (PHITS) [3]. In particular, the influence of the “...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملNeutron Contamination Unexpected Dose in Varian LINAC
Introduction: Neutron contamination is very harmful for the patients receiving radiation therapy due to the high relative biological effect of neutrons. Medical linear accelerators head are made up of materials with high atomic numbers, and High-energy photons interaction with heavy materials can produce neutron contamination. In this study, neutron equivalent dose, neutron spe...
