Abstract
While these results are statistically higher than what was measured, these results were higher by a similar amount over most measured values, and these measured count rates spanned a range of five orders of magnitude (10-2 to 103 s-1). When comparing Shift's results to the results produced using MCNP 6.1 along with the results found in reference 3 (using MCNP 5), Shift's results were effectively in agreement with all results produced using MCNP, where they were less than 3% different than those from MCNP 5 and less than 1% different than those from MCNP 6.1. This suggests that the difference from measurement is a result of problems with the composition of the labyrinth's concrete, which was also noted in reference 3.
