Monte Carlo calculation of epithermal neutron resonance self-shielding factors in foils of different materials.
Epithermal neutron resonance self-shielding factors in foils of materials used as activation detectors or as targets for radionuclide production have been calculated using the MCNP code. Two irradiation conditions have been considered: (a) foils immersed into an isotropic neutron flux and (b) foils submitted to a collimated neutron beam. The self-shielding factors, Gres(t), for gold, indium, ma...
متن کاملA review on neutron shielding performance of nano-composite materials
Neutron sources employed in different applications in both medicine and industry. Due to the harmful effects of neutron particles on living organisms, radiation shields have played a vital role in radiation protection against neutrons. In recent decade, numerous investigations conducted on the design and fabrication of nanocomposites as more efficient shielding materials against fast and therma...
متن کاملParallelization of Neutron Transport Code ATES3 on BARC’s Parallel System
A Neutron Transport Code ATES3 (Anisotropic Transport Equation Solver in 3D), which was developed at BARC for the deterministic solution of 3D steady-state neutron transport problems, has been parallelized using Message Passing Parallel Programming model on BARC’s ANUPAM Parallel Supercomputer. The most time consuming step in the code ATES3, which is transport sweep, was made parallel using thr...
متن کاملA New Assembly-level Monte Carlo Neutron Transport Code for Reactor Physics Calculations
This paper presents a new assembly-level Monte Carlo neutron transport code, specifically intended for diffusion code group-constant generation and other reactor physics calculations. The code is being developed at the Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT), under the working title “Probabilistic Scattering Game”, or PSG. The PSG code uses a method known as Woodcock tracking to simulate neu...
متن کاملShielding studies on a total-body neutron activation facility
Background: Prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) is known as a non-invasive technique capable of measuring elemental concentration in voluminous samples in a short period of time. Also it is a valuable diagnostic tool for total body elemental measurements. 252Cf and 241Am-Be sources which are usually used in this method, generate not only neutrons, but also emit high-energy and unwa...
