Neutron Dose Distributions in an Infinite Slab of Standard Man Composition - Maximum Permissible Fluxes of Neutrons

  • 1. Directorate of Radiation Protection, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Trombay, Bombay (India)

Description

Monte-Carlo estimates of depth-dose distributions in an infinite slab phantom of standard man composition have been obtained for normal, angular and isotropic incidence of neutrons of energies ranging from thermal to 10 MeV. The results for normal Incidence of neutrons are compared with those available in the literature and the agreement Is found to be good within ±10%. This study confirms the existing maximum permissible fluxes except in the intermediate-energy range. In this range higher maximum permissible fluxes are recommended. (author)
