Displacement cross sections for Fe, Cr, Ni, 18/10 SS, Mo, V, Nb, and Ta

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4322387
This report is a compendium of displacement cross section data for Fe, Cr, Ni, 18/10 SS, Ta, Nb, Mo, and V. The calculations, described elsewhere, are based largely on the ENDF/B III cross sections and employ the energy partition theory of Lindhard and co-workers. The contributions from (n,n), (n,n'), and (n,2n) processes are given graphically. The totals are given in tabular form in both a fine group structure (45 equal lethargy intervals per decade below 1 MeV, 0.1 MeV intervals above 1 MeV) and in a one-quarter lethargy group structure. The estimated contributions from (n, gamma ) recoils are also given in the latter form. For Fe, displacement cross sections and primary cross sections are given for primary thresholds of 40 eV, 3 keV, and 10 keV. Finally, the iron data are averaged over several fast reactor spectra and a fission spectrum. (8 figures, 6 tables) (auth)
