Shielding design for the LANSCE/WNR neutron flight paths - 25334

Creators

  • 1. Los Alamos National Laboratory, NM, 87545 (United States)

Description

The shielding surrounding the spallation target and the neutron flight paths at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center Weapons Neutron Research facility is simulated using a detailed MCNPX Monte Carlo model to determine neutron and γ-ray backgrounds in the experimental areas. In some cases the shielding needs to be modified depending on the requirements of planned experiments. (authors)
