چکیده

Simulation work provides valuable information on the behavior of different research reactor neutron analysis facilities. The present study considered neutron and secondary-gamma dose rate variations by applying a sapphire crystal inside the D channel in Tehran Research Reactor (TRR). The MCNPX computational code was used to model the channel and its designed shield. Neutron and gamma dose rates distributions were calculated with a sapphire crystal modeling to investigate the neutron diffraction facility hall dose rates. The data from the dose rate simulations were compared with the experimental data available at a power of ۴.۲ MW from the research reactor. The comparison showed that there is very good conformity between two data series. The simulated neutron dose rate in front of the main shield overestimated the measurement data by ۵۷% in closed-shutter situation and underestimated the measured data by ۳۲% in open-shutter measurement situation. The investigation has shown that adjusting the crystal size to the channel size is considerably effective, especially at high leakage positions.

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
