At present normalization of neutron human exposure is based on Snyder and Neufeld's calculated results. However the approximations used by them do not sufficiently approximate the real conditions of human exposure. In this paper distribution of the dose equivalent due to recoil nuclei of monoenergetic neutrons of energies from 100 eV to 10 MeV in a tissue equivalent man-size phantom was determined by a Monte Carlo technique. The dose equivalent distributions along the x and y axes for eight directions of the incident neutron beam on the phantom are given. AT PRESENT neutron irradiation hazards for man dose equivalent due to protons and heavy recoil are estimated from calculated results Of SNYDER nuclei, i.e. those components of dose which are and NEUFELD.(~) These authors calculated by determined most laboriously in experiment.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
