| Summary: | In order to study the feasibility of using lightweight 241Am-Be radionuclide
reference neutron radiation field for the calibration of neutron
measurement instruments, this paper reported the Monte Carlo simulation
work on free field reference neutron radiation, standard reference neutron
radiation regulated by ISO-8529 series standards and minitype reference
neutron radiation we designed. The distributions of dose equivalent rates
and neutron energy spectrum in different conditions, such as different room
types, different room sizes and different shield materials were the main
simulation contents for analyzing the characteristics of the three types of
reference neutron radiation. According to the simulation results,
theoretical supports were provided for the discussion on the minitype
reference neutron radiation for calibration purpose. |
