摘要：

In this paper, a nuclear gauge was simulated using MCNPX and FLUKA codes. This device consists of a fluid-containing vessel, three BC400 rod plastic scintillator and a60Co gamma source. Simulation studies show that the changes in the count of each of the three detectors and the sum of their counts decrease with increasing vessel water height. The simulation results were compared with the measurement results. Comparison results show that the mean count difference between MCNPX code and experimental results is about 3% lower than FLUKA code, but the computation time using FLUKA code is approximately 2.8 times less than the MCNPX code. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd
