Description

Shielding analysis of storage canister of neutron source for exponential experiment has been carried out. The Shielding analysis code used in this study was MCNP-4B. Storage canister of neutron source is composed of an internal and external shielding. The dose rate at the container surface has been estimated for the storage canister with a Cf-252 spontaneous neutron point source. Neutron source is located at the center of the storage canister. A recommendable distance from the safety point of view has been made by calculating the position which gives 1 mrem/h dose rate. Dose rate at the side and top surface of the internal shielding appear to be 1.38 and 1.45 rem/h, respectively. The distance for the safety work seems to be 372 cm and 382 cm. Dose rate at the side surface of the external shielding seems to be 0.015 rem/h and accordingly the distance for the safety work is 117 cm
