OSTI ID:5062100

The objectives of this task are to develop and demonstrate the use of /sup 10/B and /sup 6/Li helium accumulation fluence monitors (HAFM's) as a reliable and accurate method of measuring reactor neutron fluence, develop and apply an expanded set of HAFM's that will provide fluence responses in different but overlapping neutron energy ranges, and identify, through the precise measurement of spectrum-integrated helium production cross sections, those elements producing significant helium when used individually or as components of advanced alloys in FTR and breeder reactor neutron environments, so that their use might be eliminated, minimized, or controlled.
