A landmine detection system by using backscattering neutrons is developed. In numerical simulations,
252Cf neutron source position and reflector dimensions are optimized for examination of determination mimic explosive (melamine; C

3He(n,p) reaction rates with and without melamine by MCNP is investigated in the energy range of thermal and fast neutrons.
