Neutron Flux Spectrum Studies in the PCTR Fast Neutron Cavity
- Battelle Pacific Northwest Labs., Richland, WA (United States)
Neutron spectrum measurements were made in the interior of the Fast Neutron Cavity assembled inside the central zone of the Physical Constants Testing Reactor (PCTR). An intercomparison between two experimental methods for determining the neutron spectrum was obtained using a proton-recoil spectrometer and a multiple foil activation method. The results of these neutron spectrum measurements provide a valuable check of both reactor theory and analytical technique for developing calculational methods applicable to fast-thermal coupled reactor cores.
