Effects of inhomogeneity in plane shielding construction

Abstract

A previously proposed method was applied to a heterogeneity shield calculation and showed some remarkable results. In the present work a more extensive research of dose distribution particularities near a shield heterogeneity was executed. As a result of this investigation a calculation-experimental method was developed for a dose field calculation in complex geometry conditions when a typical task scale is much more than a mean free path of gamma radiation. Experimental data obtained can be readily used for other codes verification.
