  • Title: Water-extended polyester neutron shield for a 252Cf neutron source.
    Author: Vega-Carrillo HR, Manzanares-Acuña E, Hernández-Dávila VM, Gallego E, Lorente A, Donaire I.
    Journal: Radiat Prot Dosimetry; 2007; 126(1-4):269-73. PubMed ID: 17496334.
    Abstract:
    A Monte Carlo study to determine the shielding features to neutrons of water-extended polyester was carried out. During calculations, (252)Cf and shielding were modelled and the neutron spectra as well as the H(10) were calculated in four sites. The calculation was extended to include a water shielding, the source in vacuum and in air. Besides neutron shielding characteristics, the Kerma in air due to gammas emitted by (252)Cf and due to capture gamma rays in the shielding were included.
