DEVELOPMENT OF AN MCNP MODEL OF A BORON-10 ZINC SULFIDE SILVER-ACTIVATED [ 10 B/ZnS(Ag)] DETECTOR AND DIRECTIONAL SHIELDING USING RADIATION COUNTING

Abstract: For radiological neutron surveying, neutron detectors require shielding to minimize contributions from sources outside the area of interest. To test the effectiveness of such a shield, Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Codes (MCNP) were used to model a neutron detector so that the effectiveness of such a shield design could be explored. In this research, MCNP models of a 10 B/ZnS detector within a shield were developed and compared to experimental results. By carefully modeling the specifics of the neutron dete… Show more
