Measurement of the 240Pu(n,f) Prompt Fission Neutron Spectra with Chi-Nu
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
- Lawrence Livermore National Lab. (LLNL), Livermore, CA (United States)
The DOE Nuclear Criticality Safety Program has funded a multi-year effort to measure the 240Pu(n,f) Prompt Fission Neutron Spectrum at Chi-Nu. This project is a joint LANL-LLNL effort, involving the preparation of 12 240Pu foils and construction of a Parallel-Plate Avalanche Counter at LLNL, with subsequent measurements of the 240Pu(n,f) PFNS at the Chi-Nu beamline at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center’s Weapons Neutron Research facility (LANSCE/WNR). We expect the PPAC to be ready in time to perform the measurements this run cycle.
