Final report on a benchmark experiment for neutron transport in thick sodium
An experiment concerning deep neutron penetration in sodium is described, and experimental results are presented which provide a basis for verification of the accuracy of sodium cross sections to be used in transport calculations. The experiment was performed at the Tower Shielding Facility of ORNL and included measurements of both the neutron fluence and neutron spectra through a large diameter sample of sodium up to 15 ft thick. Ca1culated resu1ts for the experiment are presented for comparison with the experimental measurements. These results were obtained using the multigroup Monte Carlo code, MORSE, and a twodimensional discrete ordinates code, DOT III.more »
