  • 采用蒙特卡罗方法, 运用MCNP4C程序研究了碳化硼含量20%–40%、中子能量200 eV–15 keV、材料厚度0.3–2 cm对B4C/Al复合材料中子屏蔽性能的影响. 结果表明: 碳化硼含量与中子透射系数呈一次线性下降关系; 同含量的碳化硼, B4C/Al材料的中子屏蔽效果要大大优于聚乙烯碳化硼材料; 在等厚度条件下, 模拟试样B20等的中子屏蔽效果要优于水、铜、混凝土等常规屏蔽材料; 材料厚度与中子透射系数呈指数下降关系, 且单位厚度的增加对中子透射系数改变很大; 含硼量对热中子透射系数影响很大; 在热中子能区, 中子每单位能量的变化对中子透射系数改变较大; 在慢中子能区, 中子每单位能量的变化对中子透射系数改变很小.

     

    Three groups of neutron shielding experiments were set up to study the shielding performance of B4C/Al composite, using the Monte-Carlo method. We have made the following changes: the content of boron carbide 20%–40%, neutron energy 200 eV–15 keV, material thickness 0.3–2 cm, so that we can draw the conclusions: the content of boron carbide and neutron transmission coefficient show a linear relation, with a big drop; under the same neutron energy, the neutron-shielding qualities of simulated specimens are for better than polyethylene boron carbide at the same content of B4C and water, copper, and concrete at the same thickness; an exponential decline relationship is exhibited by material thickness and neutron transmission coefficient, which change greatly with the increase in unit material thickness; the content of boron affects the thermal neutron transmission coefficient seriously. In the thermal neutron energy region, the change of per unit neutron energy(100 eV) has a big influence on neutron transmission coefficient. In the slow neutron energy region, the influence is small.
