Abstract
The primary goal of this study was to develop a simulation model of a long counter available at Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL). Using the Monte Carlo N-Particle version 6 (MCNP6) code, the model was used to calculate, as a function of incident energy, the number of counts recorded per source neutron, effective centre, and sensitivity. This study also carried out measurements of the neutron emission rate of and direct neutron flux at 2 m from an in-house 252Cf neutron source.
期刊介绍：
Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria.
Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
