Abstract :
Polyethylene-moderated 252Cf neutron sources were designed to produce neutron reference fields’ spectra that simulate the spectra observed in the workplaces within nuclear reactors and accelerators. The paper describes the neutron sources and fields. Neutron spectra were calculated by the Monte Carlo method and compared with experimental data.
