Neutron tomography simulation by MAVRIC/Monaco code

Abstract In this study, MAVRIC/Monaco module integrated with SCALE6.1 package is used to elucidate experimental neutron transmission for various neutron-absorbing materials. Neutron beam hardening and its effect on shielding calculation and tomographic image reconstruction accuracy are presented. The experimental data for studied materials are used for comparison purpose and to prove the capability of MAVRIC/Monaco code in neutron tomography simulation. The good agreement between experimental and calculated values confirms the capability of SCALE6.1 package in obtaining physical data exactly analogous to an experimental measurement.
