Description
Neutron reflection methods are used in the chemical analysis of bulk samples, especially for the determination of contents in hydrogenous solutions. In these techniques albedo is measured, by measuring either the activation of a foil, or count rate from a neutron detector. In the present paper Monte Carlo simulations are done using this method for the possibility of detecting inadvertent criticality in the reprocessing plants and also estimation of 10B in heavy water, which is used as a moderator in PHWRs.
