An experimental evaluation has been made of the Po-Be fast neutron absorbed dose albedos for concrete, water, and aluminum. By assuming neutrons are scattered isotropically in the center of mass system, a good fit to Plesset’s albedo theory was obtained. The values for the albedos were found to be 0.32 for aluminum and concrete, and 0.092 for water.
