Distribution of Fission Neutrons in Water at the Indium Resonance Energy
- Nuclear Development Corp. of America, White Plains, NY (United States)
Calculations have been made by the moment method of the neutron flux distribution at 2.03 ev from a point isotropic fission source in water. Comparison has been made with flux measurements by Hill, Roberts, and Fitch at the indium resonance energy (~1.44 ev). The shapes of the two flux curves agree beyond 10 cm. However, the maximum of the theoretical flux curve is -5 cm from the origin while the experimental maximum is ~7.5 cm away. The age, defined herein as r$$^{\bar{2}}$$/6 (r being the distance from the origin), is calculated to be 26 cm$^2$, compared to a measured value of 31 cm$^2$.
