Observed penetration of 14-MeV neutrons in various materials
Description
Experimentally observed 14-MeV neutron removal cross sections are presented for 16 materials. At a scattering energy loss of 4MeV, the effective macroscopic cross section per unit mass (in square centimeters per gram) for a nucleus of mass A is given by 0.25A-1.78 + 0.10A-0.47. Such information provides a simple method for estimating neutron transport in systems driven by thermonuclear neutrons
