Use of CR-39 films for nuclear radiation shielding efficacy evaluation of lining materials for combat vehicles

All materials provide, to a lesser or greater extent, shielding against nuclear radiations. Armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs) have steel as the structural material, which appears to be a reasonably good gamma and neutron shield material but a shield of pure iron would not be equally effective against whole range of neutron energies as it has a few resonances in electron volt range, and it reduces energy of fast neutrons to lower energy neutrons. These neutrons will be absorbed through radiative capture and emit gamma radiations. Thus it is essential that an effective shield should contain a large amount of moderating material, hydrogen being preferred with low atomic number materials (B, C, Li) and lead (Pb) to ensure that the neutrons do not diffuse at intermediate energies in the shield as well as gamma attenuation will also take place. In order to have a suitable shield material for armoured vehicles which serves as neutron and gamma radiation attenuator, polyethylene polymer with fillers lining materials are preferred. These materials were evaluated against gamma and fast neutrons using radioactive sources for suitability to fitment into combat vehicle as per the requirement of protection factor values. The detector for gamma radiation was used as Nal(Tl) while for neutron, CR-39 film was used.      

2.45 MeV小型D-D中子管准直屏蔽结构设计

为获取小角度出射的单能中子源,采用蒙特卡罗软件对小型D-D中子管产生的能量为2.45 MeV的4立体角中子源进行了准直屏蔽结构设计。准直屏蔽结构分为准直器和捕获穴,准直器采用铁+含硼聚乙烯+铅的三层过滤结构,用于屏蔽照射野外杂散中子,捕获穴主要功能是增加反方向中子的弹性散射次数,从而降低出射束低能散射中子的比例。通过MCNP模拟得到了准直器各层材料的最佳厚度和出射孔尺寸以及捕获穴最佳结构。经验证,中子照射野处2.45 MeV的中子通量比照射野外大三个量级,中子照射野处低能中子通量比2.45 MeV的中子通量低一个量级,墙壁外总剂量率（中子+）在2.5 Gy/h以下。该研究对于小角度单能中子源的快速获取具有一定的实用价值,获取的中子源可用于中子剂量仪器有效性检验、中子监测仪性能测试等方面的研究。     

中子、γ射线在稀土-高分子材料中的输运(英文)

为研究新型复合屏蔽材料的最佳厚度与各种成分最佳配比, 用MCNP计算了中子、 γ射线在稀土 高分子与重金属复合材料中的通量。 对中子、 γ射线在屏蔽体中变化规律进行了深入探索, 同传统复合屏蔽材料的屏蔽性能进行了对比。 结果表明, 中子和γ射线通过屏蔽体时, 其强度遵循指数衰减规律。 新型屏蔽材料对中子的屏蔽效果均优于铅硼聚乙烯, 对γ射线的屏蔽效果均劣于W Ni合金, 且并非稀土含量越高, 材料对中子辐射屏蔽能力越强。 A series of shielding analyses have been performed to estimate the material composition and optimum thickness required for a new radiation shield with various rare earth doped polymer and heavy metal mixtures. The neutron and γ photon fluxes have been calculated by Monte Carlo N Particle(MCNP) transport code. The results indicate that the relative fluxes of γ photon and neutron in both traditional and new composite materials follow an exponential decay rule with the distance of penetration. It can be seen that the composite material consisting of rare earth doped polymer and heavy metal has stronger neutron shielding performance than lead boron polyethylene, but weaker γ shielding effectiveness than W Ni alloy. It is also found that materials with more components of rare earth elements don’t always provide better neutron shielding performance.     

Use of the EUR LiB 15/5 data set for radiation shielding calculations in iron

Abstract

The shielding effect of an iron sphere assembly has been tested for a Pu-α-Be neutron source placed in the center of the shield assembly. Emergent neutron and gamma spectra were measured with a stilbene scintillation counter. Discrimination between neutrons and gammas was achieved by the pulse shape discrimination technique based on the zero crossing method. Calculations have been made using the one-dimensional transport code ANISN-Westinghouse version (ANISN-W) and the EUR LiB 15/5 cross section data set. The agreement between measurements and calculations indicates that the cross section set and the calculation model are suitable for studying the iron shielding experiments over the neutron energy range 1.35–10 MeV and the gamma energy range 0.3–6 MeV. Total macroscopic cross sections for fast neutrons, linear attenuation coefficients for gamma rays and half-value thicknesses for neutrons and gammas for the whole energy range and at different energies have been obtained.     

HL-2A�����������ϵͳģ��

The physical model of the neutron camera Monte-Carlo partical transport (MCNP) for HL-2A was established by using Monte-Carlo simulation code. The shielding of D-D fusion neutrons and gamma rays was simulated. The shielding effects were compared for four common shielding materials, including mixture of paraffin lithium carbonate, polyethylene, lead, 316L stainless steel. Calculation results show that mixture of paraffin lithium carbonate and lead are the best shielding materials for neutron camera, among them the mixture of paraffin lithium carbonate is used for slowing-down and absorpting neutrons, while lead is used for blocking neutrons and gamma rays. In addition, both the required thickness of shielding material for neutron and gamma ray and the neutron scattering rate of collimator tube have been obtained by using MCNP simulation.     

高温堆乏燃料贮罐中子屏蔽性能计算

球床模块式高温气冷堆采用包覆颗粒球形燃料元件,在反应堆运行过程中,不断排出的乏燃料球将被装入乏燃料贮罐。乏燃料贮罐应选取适当的材料和厚度,对光子和中子进行有效屏蔽,使罐外的剂量率满足相应的限值要求。为此,使用张弛长度法和蒙特卡罗模拟法研究乏燃料贮罐的中子屏蔽性能。屏蔽材料为铁和含硼聚乙烯,计算了铁和不同B4C含量聚乙烯的屏蔽性能,并给出了乏燃料贮罐装满乏燃料球后,乏燃料球自吸收对贮罐外剂量率的影响。两种方法计算结果吻合很好,可以为实际工程中的屏蔽设计提供参考意见。     

The effects of shielding around the source on neutron energy spectra

The knowledge of neutron energy spectra contributes to unambiguous identification of neutron sources in the fields of nuclear safeguards and nuclear non-proliferation. Since a real scenario situation includes the presence of shielding around the source, we have investigated the influence of the potential shielding surrounding the source on the shape of energy spectra for a few neutron sources. We have applied the maximum-likelihood, expectation–maximisation (MLEM) method with one-step-late (OSL) algorithm for neutron spectra unfolding. The pulse height distributions used in the unfolding procedures were simulated with the high accuracy by using the MCNP-PoliMi code based on the Monte Carlo method. A possibility to identify the shielded neutron sources by using the unfolding method was examined with two continuous-in-energy sources, such as ²⁵²Cf and ²⁴¹Am–Be in source-shielding configurations with lead (Pb) and polyethylene (PE) blocks. The results of calculations have shown that the identification of ²⁵²Cf and ²⁴¹Am–Be sources with 2.5 cm of Pb and PE shield can be achieved successfully by using the MLEM method with the OSL algorithm. However, the unfolded results for ²⁵²Cf and ²⁴¹Am–Be sources with 10 cm of PE shield significantly deviate from the reference spectra and the sources cannot be correctly identified on the basis of their unfolded energy spectra.
