Abstract：
Photoneutrons produced in the 15MeV electron accelerator for radiography application were measured and calculated. With passive methods of CR-39 and TE/C ion chamber, the photoneutron dose at the isocenter was 0.19mSv/Gy X-ray and 0.06mSv/Gy X-ray. For comparison, the whole accelerator system was simulated by Monte-Carlo method of MCNP5. The ratio or the neutron dose and the photon dose was 0.092mSv/Gy X-ray, less than the limited value of radiation protection standard. The results of the measurement and the calculation agreed well in the same order.
