Transmission coefficient of radiation doses for soil and similar materials

  • 1. Institute of Nuclear Sciences VINCA, Belgrade (Yugoslavia)

Description

In this paper simple exponential formula is proposed to define the coefficient of transmitted neutron and secondary gamma radiation doses through soil slabs thicker than 50 g/cm2. Radiation initiated from an isotropic fission neutron source. Unknown parameters of the formula are determined by least square fit and approximation by a rational function. Results obtained by applying this procedure are accurate enough for the purpose of preliminary shield design. Although this formula is derived from calculated data for soil and was originally meant for soil, it can be applied with satisfactory accuracy for similar materials as sand and brick.
