dc.description.abstractUsing the Monte Carlo formalism we have calculated the thickness of ordinary concrete required to shield a source of 14 MeV neutrons. A shield thickness of (2.3 ± 0.2) meters was obtained. This is in good agreement with the results given in the MBS (National Bureau of Standards) Handbook 63 (1957) and the ORINS (Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies) Journal (1963) using the Removal cross section technique. Both quote 2.1 and 2.6 meters respectivelyen_US
