Description
The attenuation of the neutron dose equivalent in labyrinths is calculated. Long straight access ways and rectangular three-sectional labyrinths are considered. The Monte Carlo calculations are checked against earlier measurements. Simple formulas for the relative attenuation in the second and in the third section are derived. Absolute values of neutron doses are given for several cases of beam losses near the mouth of a labyrinth at proton accelerators. Associated photon doses are also calculated. (orig.)
