Abstract The present article describes the results obtained in measuring the spatial distribution of fast neutrons, which are emitted from sources of monoenergetic neutrons, with E0 = 4 Mev and E0=14.9 Mev, as well as neutrons from atomic reactors, in lead and iron. In order to calculate the space-energy distribution of fast neutrons at large distances from the source, we have developed a method of solving the kinetic equation for media where the neutrons are moderated due to inelastic scattering on nuclei. The anisotropy of elastic scattering is taken into account. The energy losses of neutrons in elastic scattering are neglected.
