DIFFUSION PARAMETERS OF THERMAL NEUTRONS IN HEAVY WATER (thesis)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4030363
The diffusion parameters of thermal neutrons in heavy water were determined from a 1-Mev accelerator by measuring the decay of the leakage from the finite cylinder. A 26-channel time analyzer was used for measuring the leakage. Buckling was varied from 0.062 to 0.104 cm/sup -2/. The diffusion coefficient obtained was 1.97 plus or minus 0.07 x 10/sup -5/ cm/sup 2// sec. The diffusion cooling coefficient was 4.8 plus or minus 1.1 x 10/sup -5/ cm/sup 4//sec. These values agree with those previously reported by investigators using other methods. (N.W.R.)
