Estimation 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 کاملComparison Of Neutron Coincidence And Multiplicity Counting Techniques For Safeguards
Neutron counters have been used by safeguard inspectors worldwide for over 20 years to accurately perform Non-Destructive Assays of pure samples of plutonium and uranium. These systems rely on the neutron coincidence counting technique to separate time-correlated fission neutrons from random, uncorrelated neutrons to determine the fissile mass. Impure samples such as mixed-oxide (MOX) scrap mat...
متن کاملNeutrons and Neutron Generators
This article was originally intended as a brief introduction to the article by Richard Hull on the Farnsworth/Hirsch “fusor.” However, as there has been some interest by a number of subscribers in neutron generators, I decided to provide a somewhat more lengthy tutorial on the reactions that produce neutrons, some practical applications of neutrons, and a few of the various types of devices tha...
متن کاملSimulation of a Neutron Detector for Real Time Imaging Applications
Monte Carlo Method is used to simulate a double layer gadolinium-amorphous silicon thermal neutron detector. The detector fabricated in pixel array configuration has various applications including neutron imaging. According to the simulation results, a detector consisting of a gadolinium (Gd) film with thickness of 2-4 ~m, sandwiched properly with two layers of sufficiently thick (-30 ?µm) hydr...
متن کاملB-Lined Proportional Counters to Traditional Neutron Counting Applications in International Safeguards
Many neutron-detection techniques are under consideration as potential replacements for 3 He gas-filled proportional tubes, which are widely used in international nuclear safeguards applications. The traditional 10 B-lined proportional tube is a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology for neutron detection that predates the development of 3 He detectors. There is also a long history of its u...
