B, was assumed to be <strong>the</strong> buildup factor for lead.<br />

The calculated ratio is plotted as a function of<br />

<strong>the</strong> angular distribution index m in Fig. 5.3.7.<br />

There is excellent agreement with <strong>the</strong> experimental<br />

value if m is taken to be 2. This is what might be<br />

expected from a combination of an isotropic com-<br />

ponent (cadmium capture gamma rays) and a highly<br />

directional component (carbon capture and reactor<br />

monoenergetic source assumptions introduce some<br />

uncertainty. Also, both <strong>the</strong> energy spectrum and<br />

<strong>the</strong> angular distribution for <strong>the</strong> ART reactor are<br />

undoubtedly somewhat different than those for <strong>the</strong><br />
