Design and optimization of a shield for Am-Be source to reduce radiation hazards using MCNPX code
Aim: Protection against nuclear radiation is one of the most important issues in nuclear technology and industries that use this technology. Among the types of radiation emitted from radioactive sources, neutron and gamma rays are among the most dangerous radiations due to lack of electrical charge...
