Description

Integral shielding experiments using iron-polyethylene slab shields were carried out to determine an optimum arrangement for the neutron dose rate. The total thickness of the iron slabs was fixed at 32 cm, while several thicknesses of polyethylene slabs were employed as a parameter. Some measured data were analyzed by the Mone Carlo code MORSE-CG with the splitting technique
