Shield calculation of research reactor IAN-R1 by Monte Carlo method

Description

Using the Monte Carlo Method a computer program has been developed to simulate the neutron radiation transport and determine the basic parameters in shielding calculations. The program has been tested comparing dose conversion factors with kerma factors issued by the international commission on radiation units and measurements (ICRU) on its report (No 26 of 1987) giving errors less than ten percent showing the goodness of the method. The program computer transmitted backscattered and absorbed flux on energy less on each collision. when neutrons are produced by region source with knowing energy; results are given like conversion factors and reliability of this program allows a wide application on radiological and medical physics
