Neutron and gamma-ray shielding design for a 30Ci (1.11 TBq) 241 Am-Be irradiation
facility is studied using MCNP5 Monte Carlo simulation code. The study focuses on the …

This study aimed to investigate a shielding design against neutron and photon rays from
neutron irradiators based on Am–Be sources, using the Monte Carlo simulation. Different …

In this study, compounds; which are highly absorbent for neutrons due to their high
absorption cross-section, are used in different volume proportions within cubic geometry for …

Thermal neutrons detectors have been used for a long time and continue to be used to
detect hydrogenous material. In this work, BF3 and 3He detectors ability have been …

The HYDAD-D landmine detector (Brooks and Drosg, 2005) has been modified and field-
tested for 17 months in a variety of soil conditions. Test objects containing about the same …

Among the available nuclear techniques, the neutron backscattering technique, based on
the detection of the produced thermal neutrons, is thought to be the most promising for …

Background: Several LANDMINE DETECTION methods, based on nuclear techniques, have
been suggested up to now. Neutron-induced gamma emission, neutron and gamma …

Personal safety issue is one of the major limitations in landmine detection by nuclear
techniques. In this paper, the dose rate received by the operator of different hand-held …

In this paper an optimized moderating structure using an 241Am-Be neutron source for
detecting landmines (using the PGNAA method) has been investigated by experiment. The …

As a result of being hydrogenous moderators, several landmine detection methods based
onnuclear techniques have been suggested in recent years. Because of elastic scattering …
