Estimation of neutron effective dose from DD and DT neutron generators and the design of appropriate shield for standing user

Neutron Generators (NG) are used as a neutron source for different applications. During recent years, major efforts are underway to develop a high yield compact NG. In this way, radiation protection aspects need to be considered during the operation of these high yield NGs. In this paper the neutron effective dose of a NG operator has been calculated using MCNPX Monte Carlo code. The results sh...
