Neutron room return effect

The coefficient that relates the neutron source strength and room surface area with the thermal neutron fluence rates has been calculated forneutrons whose energy goes from 1 eV to 20 MeV. This coefficient was calculated using Monte Carlo methods for several room’s radii wherea point-like source was...

Sumario:The coefficient that relates the neutron source strength and room surface area with the thermal neutron fluence rates has been calculated forneutrons whose energy goes from 1 eV to 20 MeV. This coefficient was calculated using Monte Carlo methods for several room’s radii wherea point-like source was located at the center of the room while detectors were located along the room’s radius. Calculations were performedwith the room with air and in vacuum
