Albedo is a concept which has proved useful in the calculation of the penetration of nuclear weapons radiation through a shelter entranceway. The application of the albedo approach to describe the behavior of neutrons impinging upon various materials is the subject of this report. Values of thermal neutron albedo for lead, iron, paraffin, aluminum, carbon, and high- density concrete were measured, using the nuclear reactor of the University of California at Los Angeles. The results are in reasonable agreement with theoretical calculations. Verification of the angular dependence of neutron scattering was attempted, but with only partial success. Albedo as a function of thickness of the scattering material was measured for paraffin, carbon, and aluminum. The results essentially conform with theory. The possibility of using a simple empirical formula for albedo calculations of thermal neutron streaming through shelter ducts is apparent.

Power and Energy Engineering are important and pressing topics globally, covering issues such as shifting paradigms of energy generation and consumption, intelligent grids, green energy and environmental protection. The 11th Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC 2019) was held in Xiamen, China from April 19 to 21, 2019. APPEEC has been an annual conference since 2009 and has been successfully held in Wuhan (2009 & 2011), Chengdu (2010 & 2017), Shanghai (2012 & 2014), Beijing (2013 & 2015), Suzhou (2016) and Guilin (2018), China. The objective of APPEEC 2019 was to provide scientific and professional interactions for the advancement of the fields of power and energy engineering. APPEEC 2019 facilitated the exchange of insights and innovations between industry and academia. A group of excellent speakers have delivered keynote speeches on emerging technologies in the field of power and energy engineering. Attendees were given the opportunity to give oral and poster presentations and to interface with invited experts.
