AbstractIn this study, the fast neutron and gamma-ray absorption capacities of the new glasses have been investigated, which are obtained by doping CoO,CdWO4,Bi2O3, Cr2O3, ZnO, LiF,B2O3 and PbO compounds to SiO2 based glasses. GEANT4 and FLUKA Monte Carlo simulation codes have been used in the planning of the samples. The glasses were produced using a well-known melt-quenching technique. The effective neutron removal cross-sections, mean free paths, half-value layer, and transmission numbers of the fabricated glasses have been calculated through both GEANT4 and FLUKA Monte Carlo simulation codes. Experimental neutron absorbed dose measurements have been carried out. It was found that GS4 glass has the best neutron protection capacity among the produced glasses. In addition to neutron shielding properties, the gamma-ray attenuation capacities, were calculated using newly developed Phy-X/PSD software. The gamma-ray shielding properties of GS1 and GS2 are found to be equivalent to Pb-based glass.

In order to study the feasibility of using lightweight 241Am-Be radionuclide reference neutron radiation field for the calibration of neutron measurement instruments, this paper reported the Monte Carlo simulation work on free field reference neutron radiation, standard reference neutron radiation regulated by ISO-8529 series standards and minitype reference neutron radiation we designed. The distributions of dose equivalent rates and neutron energy spectrum in different conditions, such as different room types, different room sizes and different shield materials were the main simulation contents for analyzing the characteristics of the three types of reference neutron radiation. According to the simulation results, theoretical supports were provided for the discussion on the minitype reference neutron radiation for calibration purpose.
