Experiments on Neutron Attenuation by Water-Lead Mixtures; ETUDE EXPERIMENTALE DE L'ATTENUATION DES NEUTRONS DANS LES MELANGES PLOMB-EAU

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4184804
The penetration of fission neutrons in water-lead mixtures has been investigated in the NALADE facility. The slopes of the thermal and fast fluxes (the latter measured with a dosimeter) remain similar when the volume proportion of water is greater than 65 per cent. For smaller water contents, the measurements show the evidence of streaming presumably due to slowing-down neutrons of energy smaller than 300 kev. (auth)
