PFC / JA - 93 - 17 14 MeV Neutron Yields from D - T Operation of the MIT Cockcroft
As part of our fusion product-diagnostic development program, we have begun a series of experiments with 14 MeV neutrons generated in a Cockcroft-Walton accelerator. Two different detectors have been used to measure the neutron yield: a silicon SBD and a Cu foil. The energy of the emitted neutrons has been determined by using two spectrometers: the SBD and a 3 He proportional counter. The react...
متن کاملFast Neutron Generators: Radiation Levels and Shielding Requirements.
@ Neutron and gamma radiation levels around a Cockcroft-Walton neutron generator producing 14-Mev neutrons at an approximate rate of 1010 neutrons per second were measured under conditions typical of those required for activation analysis. Neutron flux reduction to acceptable levels for limited operation was accomplished by 12 feet of distance that included shielding consisting of 27 inches of ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Field Size and Distance from the Field Center on Neutron Contamination in Medical Linear Accelerator
Objective: Using Megavoltage photons generated by medical linear accelerator is a common modality for the treatment of malignant. The crucial problem for using photon beams >8MV is the photoneutron yields that increase the risk of secondary cancer that treated with high-energy photon beams. The contaminated neutrons produced in different components of the accelerator head and rely on many param...

متن کاملFeasibility Study and Installation of Thermal Neutron Driven 14 MeV Neutron Converter into the TRIGA Research Reactor
Tentative design and implementation of an irradiation facility are described, which will add a 14 MeV component to the neutron spectrum in a thermal research reactor irradiation facility. The idea is to exploit the Li(n,T)He reaction in a blanket of lithium in a deuterated environment, placed in a thermal reactor irradiation channel. Existing literature describing similar devices is reviewed, t...
