Modeling the measurement of VVER-1000 reactor power by neutron and gamma radiation with MCNP code
The present study deals with a new method for measuring the power of a reactor. This method uses gamma and neutron radiation resulted from the entire reactor structure, without changing its structure (online). In terms of functionality, this method can measure the reactor power in real-time and report it instantly. In order to obtain the relationship between reactor power and gamma and neutron ...
متن کاملThe study of neutron interactions with soft tissue using Monte Carlo simulation using the source PF
The most important part of neutron therapy treatment (NCT1) is to achieve a beam of neutrons with suitable energy and intensity, as well as the least pollution and damage. In this study, in order to correct the neutron spectrum from D-D fusion and its use in neutron therapy, a set of different materials which are called the Beam Shaping Assembly (BSA) was placed in the direction of energy 2.45 ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of the Greek Research Reactor Neutron Irradiation Positions Using Mcnp
Prediction of neutron flux at the irradiation devices of a research reactor facility is essential for the design and evaluation of experiments involving material irradiations. A computational model of the Greek Research Reactor (GRR-1) was developed using the Monte Carlo code MCNP with continuous energy neutron cross-section data evaluations from ENDF/B-VI library. The model included detailed g...
متن کاملExperimental and Monte Carlo studies on the response of CR-39 detectors to Am-Be neutron spectrum
Background: The Poly-Allyl Diglycol Carbonate (PADC) detector is of particular interest for development of a fast neutron dosimeter. Fast neutrons interact with the constituents of the CR-39 detector and produce H, C and O recoils, as well as (n, α) reaction. These neutron- induced charged particles contribute towards the response of CR-39 detectors. Material and Methods: Electrochemical...
متن کاملNeutron Transport Calculations Using Monte-Carlo Methods
Fusion reactions from direct-drive inertial confinement fusion experiments at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) release large amounts of stored nuclear energy. Most of it is given off as energetic neutrons. Plastic scintillators are used as detectors for these neutrons. The neutrons that interact with the scintillator produce photons that are recorded using a photomultiplier tube on a f...
