Abstract
This study aimed to investigate a shielding
design against neutron and photon rays from neutron irra
diators based on Am–Be sources, using the Monte Carlo
simulation. Different shielding materials were studied,
including borated polyethylene, DaGa concrete, and epoxy
resin with colemanite. The Monte Carlo N-particle code
(MCNP)wasusedtodesignshielding.Anewtypeofneutron
and photon shielding material based on 40 % galena, 55 %
polyethylene, and 5 % boric acid is proposed. The results
showthat the total effective dose of radiation is significantly
reduced by the optimum radius of this shielding system.
