Description

Characteristics of neutrons emergent in the environment from various accelerators, especially their energy spectra and spatial dose distributions, are described, together with the neutron detectors appropriate to measure these quantities. The evaluation of dose distribution in the environment due to skyshine effect is also explained briefly. (author)
