Utilization of Photodisintegration reaction of Deuterium, 2H(?,n)1H, is a precise technique for determining the percentage of 2H in tritiated and natural water. The 23Na(n,?)24Na reaction is a suitable ?-source for producing the 2H(?,n)1H reaction. Tehran Research Reactor was used as a neutron source for producing 24Na isotopes. The BF3 detectors were used to detect the neutron emission of H2 c...

Neutron phase contrast imaging is a recently developmental technique which is based not only on the amplitude like in the projection imaging but also on the contribution of phase alteration of the neutron beam. With the additional contrast from the difference of neutron refraction index in the sample which mainly leads to edge enhancement, phase contrast imaging can show more details about the ...

introduction electron linear accelerator (linac) can be used for neutron production in boron neutron capture therapy (bnct). bnct is an external radiotherapeutic method for the treatment of some cancers. in this study, varian 2300 c/d linac was simulated as an electron accelerator-based photoneutron source to provide a suitable neutron flux for bnct. materials and methods photoneutron sources w...

The Nigeria Research Reactor-1 (NIRR-1) is the nation’s first nuclear reactor and it is sited at the Centre for Energy Research and Training, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria. It is a Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR) that attained criticality on February 03, 2004 and was licensed to operate at a maximum power of 31 kW three days a week in June 01, 2004. This presentation enumerate...
