Measurement of Prompt Fission Neutron Spectrum Using a Gamma Tagging Method

Since its discovery 75 years ago fission has been at the forefront of nuclear science and engineering research. Although the fission process is being used worldwide to generate safe reliable power, there are several aspects of the fission process which are still not well known. One such parameter of the fission process is the prompt fission neutron spectrum (PFNS). Although the average number o...

A method to measure prompt fission neutron spectrum using gamma multiplicity tagging

In order to improve on current prompt fission neutron spectrum measurements, a gamma multiplicity tagging method was developed at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Gearttner Linear Accelerator Center. This method involves using a coincidence requirement on an array of BaF2 gamma detectors to determine the timing of a fission event. This allows for much larger fission samples to be used due t...

Measurement of neutron energy spectrum at the radial channel No. 4 of the Dalat reactor

INTRODUCTION Several compositions of neutron filters have been installed at the channel No. 4 of the Dalat research reactor to produce quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams. However, this neutron facility has been proposed to enhance the quality of the experimental instruments, and to characterize the neutron spectrum parameters for new filtered neutron beams of 2 keV, 24 keV, 59 keV and 133 keV. ...

Radiation Safety Assessment of the New Neutron Radiography System at Tehran Research Reactor

Recently, a new Neutron Radiography (NR) beam line has been designed, constricted, installed and tested based on the use of E-beam tube of Tehran Research Reactor (TRR). Initial tests have been shown that the system can be used for different samples and purposes such as nuclear plates and rods fuels.  For this end the system need a suitable irradiation room which should be installed at the NR b...
