<strong>Neutron</strong> Intensity<br />

The values L and D are also related to the neutron intensity needed for<br />

radiography. For a collimator with dimensions L and D and an entrance port<br />

at a point in the moderator where thermal neutron flux is Ф, the intensity at<br />

the collimator's exit can be approximated by the following relationship (for a<br />

round aperature of diameter D):<br />

I ≈ Ф Eq.5<br />
