Neutron irradiation facilities, neutron measurement system, and mono-energetic neutron fields at KRISS

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) has developed and maintained neutron calibration facilities and neutron measurement systems, providing national standards on neutron dose equivalent, neutron fluence, and neutron emission rate for Korea. Neutron calibration facilities at KRISS include neutron irradiation facilities and neutron sources, such as radioactive isotope neutron sources, thermal neutrons, and mono-energetic neutrons. Neutron measurement systems at KRISS include the Bonner sphere spectrometer and a manganese-sulfate bath measurement system. The neutron standard facilities and measurement systems at KRISS have supported the researchers. Here, we introduce the ongoing research and development of neutron measurement systems, such as the mono-energetic neutron field generation system, which is currently under development and will be operational within a few months.
