PRODUCTION OF Sb-Be NEUTRON SOURCE IN THE JRR-2 (in Japanese)

Journal Article · · Proc. Japan Conf. Radioisotopes
OSTI ID:4682196
Sb/sup 124/ of an Sb--Be neutron source is usually activated in the reactor, and this neutron source is used when the reactor is started up. In the JRR-2 some curies of Sb/sup 124/ were produced by the requests for critical tests. As the fuels of the JRR-2 were changed from 26% enriched to 90%, the critical test was made again in April 1962, using an Sb-- Be neutron source design and produced by the JRR-2. The following items are described: (1) estimation of quantity of Sb/sup 124/ (produced), using Co monitor wire; (2) measurement method of the gamma dose rate from large gamma sources, such as Sb/sup 124/ used in neutron sources, etc.; and (3) measurement results of neutron intensity from an Sb--Be neutron source.
