The relative effectiveness of reducing neutron induced responses in a building by borating the concrete wall was examined. Discussions are presented for the three major variables affecting the boration effectiveness - boron concentration, boration thickness and the area of coverage. Only the generalized neutron sources and room scattering conditions have been used. The data and formula derived from this analysis are useful in the study of design variations.
