Abstract

In this work neutrons shielding of ²⁵²Cf source simulated with GEANT4 program and MCNP4C code. The relative neutron flux rates are calculated for different materials. Among various physics models of GEANT4 for the hadronic interaction of neutron, we have used the High Precision (HP) model, which is based on the ENDF-V1 data and is able to treat elastic scattering, inelastic scattering, fission, fusion and capture. The simulation results of GEANT4 are compared with the results of MCNP4C.

Keywords: Neutron shielding, simulation, Geant4, MCNP4C.
