Abstract
A study was done on the tailored neutron energy spectra of (241)Am-Be neutron source due to the effect of moderators. The (241)Am-Be laboratory neutron source was used as the basic source and the emitted spectrum was modified using various neutron moderators. The various moderators used are high-density polythene, light water, heavy water, graphite, (56)Fe, BeO, Be, (6)Li and (7)Li. The absolute energy spectra and fluences in each case are calculated by using the Monte Carlo code FLUKA. This paper describes the simulation work done to design a moderated (241)Am-Be neutron source to produce various energy neutron spectra.
