[en] In Brazil, there is currently only one calibration laboratory for neutron radiation monitors. It is responsible for the custody and maintenance of the Brazilian neutron fluence standard, located at the Laboratório Nacional de Metrologia das Radiações Ionizantes-LNMRI, Rio de Janeiro, at the Instituto de Radioproteção e Dosimetria, Comissão Nacional de Energia Nuclear, with a great demand of services with this type of radiation. In order to decentralize the calibration service offer, it was necessary to set up a second Neutron Calibration Laboratory (LCN), at IPEN. In practical situations involving the calibration of neutron radiation monitors, one of the main problems is related to scattered radiation, which may vary depending on the size of the laboratory used for the calibration procedures. In the process of characterization of the neutron radiation field of the ²⁴¹AmBe source, the spectra, the energies, the fluence rate, the ambient dose equivalent rate and the conversion coefficient of fluence in dose at different positions of the LCN, were evaluated using the complete beam. The influence of the scattered radiation was determined by three techniques: Monte Carlo Method, the Reduced Adjustment Method and the Shade Cone Method. From the results obtained through simulation and experimentally, it was possible to obtain the scattering fraction at different source-detector distances. (author)
