【 摘 要 】

The Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Safeguards (NA-241) is supporting the project ???Coincidence Counting With Boron-Based Alternative Neutron Detection Technology??? at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) for the development of an alternative neutron coincidence counter. The goal of this project is to design, build and demonstrate a boron-lined proportional tube-based alternative system in the configuration of a coincidence counter. This report discusses the validation studies performed to establish the degree of accuracy of the computer modeling methods current used to simulate the response of boron-lined tubes. This is the precursor to developing models for the uranium neutron coincidence collar under Task 2 of this project.
