The neutron and gamma radiation doses were calculated from the operation of the 1 MW TRIGA 2000 Reactor in a simulation using the Monte Carlo method with MCNPX and PHITS program. Simulation is done by modelling the geometry of the reactor component materials and running it on a computer. The radiation source in the form of a fission reaction in the reactor core has been simulated using MCNPX to produce a dose of neutron and gamma radiation in the TRIGA 2000 core. Attenuation of neutron and gamma radiation by the reactor building is simulated using the PHITS code so that the neutron and gamma dose rates are obtained on the source, y, and z from reactor core. Interpolation of dose rate curves on large material thicknesses was carried out with the TVL neutron and gamma values of the simulation results for each reactor material. The simulation results shows that the gamma neutron dose rate outside the TRIGA 2000 reactor building is still below the dose limit value for radiation workers.
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.
