Abstract:This paper presents results of neutron detection efficiency and dosimetry between a non-borated centrifugally tensioned metastable fluid detector (NB-CTMFD) configured to detect fast (>0.1 MeV) vs. He-3 based Ludlum-42-49B and the Fuji NSN3, detectors behind various levels of lead and concrete shieldin-together with MCNP code simulations to account for 3-D effects and to relate the detection sensitivity with the dose rate. The MCNP results for neutron energy spectra were validated vs. experimental measu… Show more
