The thicknesses of the concrete and steel shielding blocks ranged from 40 cm to 200 cm and from 20 cm to 80 cm, respectively. The BSS consisted of a spherical 3He proportional counter and five polyethylene moderators with diameters of 7.62 cm, 10.2 cm, 12.7 cm, 17.8 cm, and 24.1 cm, respectively. In addition, polyethylene moderators combined with a lead or copper inner shell were used to increase the sensitivity to high-energy neutrons. The neutron energy spectra were deduced using an unfolding method. The initial guesses were obtained using the PHITS code for each experimental geometry. The response function for the BSS was determined using the MCNP6.2 code with JENDL-4.0/HE. The neutron energy spectra over the entire energy region from 10−4 eV to 10 GeV were successfully obtained for the different shielding conditions. The validity of the response function and the contribution of each moderator are discussed referring to previous studies and tests at the standard neutron fields of AIST.
