| contents | This study investigates the moderation of 14.1 MeV neutrons in a natural beryllium moderator arranged in a spherical geometry. The neutron interactions and moderation efficiency were analyzed using Monte Carlo simulations with the GEANT4 toolkit. Various sphere radii were tested to determine the optimal moderator thickness for neutron thermalization. |
