// Example 9.9 clear all; clc; // Given data fluence = 10^8; // Given fluence neutrons/cm^2 // From Figure 9.12 // To receive an dose equivalent rate of 1 mrem/hr, the fast neutron flux is 7 neutrons/cm^2-sec phi_eq = 7; // Equivalent flux in neutrons/cm^2-sec D_eq = 1; // Equivalent dose rate in mrem/hr // 1 hour = 3600 seconds fluence_eq = phi_eq*3600; // Equivalent fluence in neutrons/cm^2 // Calculation D = (fluence*D_eq)/fluence_eq; // Result printf(" \n Dose received due to exposure of accelerator source = %d mrem \n",D); // The answer given in textbook is approximated to a nearest value.
