<p>This International Standard presents the general methodology governing the design of neutron radiation protection</p>
<p>shielding and the choice of neutron radiation protection shielding materials.</p>
<p>This International Standard is applicable to facilities and operations where neutron sources are located and used,</p>
<p>and where workers are occupationally exposed. These operations and facilities vary considerably in design and</p>
<p>purpose. These facilities and operations include, but are not limited to:</p>
<p> nuclear power plants;</p>
<p> research reactors;</p>
<p> particle accelerators and neutron generators;</p>
<p> fusion research facilities;</p>
<p> transportation packaging for radioactive materials operations;</p>
<p> medical treatment and research facilities and applications;</p>
<p> industrial applications such as use of devices for measuring and detecting moisture and density level;</p>
<p> space applications;</p>
<p> calibration facilities;</p>
<p> radiographic installations;</p>
<p> nuclear fuel cycle installations (reprocessing plants, plutonium solution handling facilities, shielded cells, waste</p>
<p>storage, etc.).</p>
<p>The criteria for the design of neutron shielding and the choice of shielding materials contained in this International</p>
