Naming scheme key:
- Drum = source in the black paraffin drum
- Howitzer = source in Howitzer
- +8,16 or 24 = number of steel sheets between the source and the detector
- +HDPE = poly sheets are between the source and detector or added as an additional wall to permanent shield walls
- +HDPEb = poly sheets are behind the detector
- +Fridge = fridge wall (8 poly sheets and lead) is between the detector and the source
- +2Fridge = 2 fridge walls used with them on the sides of the detector
- +2Fridgefb = 2 fridge walls used one in front and one behind the detector
- +3Fridge = 2 fridge walls used with one complete wall of HDPE (8 sheets)
- +Fridgeb = fridge wall is behind the detector
- +Fridgefb = Fridge walls with lead are in front of and behind the detector
- +Cl = salt is near the detector
