In the field of radiation effects in materials, a detailed and precise description of the radiation environment used to damage samples is often required to make sense of subsequent materials analysis. The types of reactions and extent of damage that occur during irradiation strongly depend on the flux spectrum of the particular facility. Different neutron activation techniques for characterizin...

The neutron capture cross sections of 106 Cd, 108 Cd, 110 Cd, 112 Cd, 114 Cd and 116 Cd were determined in the present project. Four different OSU TRIGA reactor facilities were used to produce redundancy in the results and to measure the thermal cross section and resonance integral separately. When the present values were compared with previously measured values, the differences were mostly due...

In order to validate the neutron capture cross section in 241Am, comparisons of calculations with activation experiments at TRIGA reactor JSI and pile oscillation measurements MINERVE CEA Cadarache were done. The results suggest that evaluation new test library JEFF-4T1 on average provide an improvement C/E compared existing nuclear data releases. However, due some discrepancies, additional as ...

The Slovenian 250 kW TRIGA Mark II reactor operated by the Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI) has continuously operated since 1966. Since its commissioning it has played an important role in developing nuclear technology and safety culture in Slovenia. During the years the reactor has been utilized for training, research and isotope production. Education and training activities comprise regular exper...
