Characterization Measurements of Compact Neutron Generators of the New NILE Facility
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NUCLEAR SCIENCE(2023)
摘要
Two compact generators of 14 and 2.5 MeV neutrons have been installed in the new Neutron Irradiation Laboratory for Electronics (NILE) facility. Neutrons are produced by deuterium-deuterium (DD) and deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion reactions. The facility has been designed with the assistance of Monte Carlo calculations. Here, we present neutron measurements with multiple techniques for the characterization of the radiation field and dosimetry. Activation foils are used as a standard technique for passive measurements of neutron fluxes. Active detectors, like fission chambers, are used mainly as online neutron monitor. Diamond detectors are applied with the main purpose of high-resolution neutron spectroscopy. Scintillators are used as neutron monitors and spectrometers with the additional capability of neutron/gamma discrimination. The characterized neutron beams will be mainly applied for the testing of electronics.
