Empirical parameters for a new fast-neutron differential dose albedo formula are presented for water, concrete, iron, and lead and for ten energy bands between 0.1 and 10.0 MeV. Data are also presented for 252 Cf spontaneous fission neutrons, 14-MeV neutrons, and thermal neutrons. The 24parameter approximation, based on modern dose units, agrees with MCNP-calculated values within 10%. Revised data are also presented for a five-parameter secondary-photon albedo formula, proposed earlier by Maerker and Muckenthaler, that is within 20% of MCNP values for the four materials. Finally, these revised albedo formulas are applied to the problem of thermal neutrons transmitted through a three-legged duct and compared to previous experimental results.
