Neutron spectrum information will be obtained throughout the FFTF during acceptance testing by irradiating passive dosimeters in special characterizer assemblies in fuel, reflector, in-vessel storage, and reactor cavity locations. An irradiation was performed in the In-Reactor Thimble (IRT) in a geometry similar to that of the proton recoil neutron spectrum measurements to assess the adequacy of spectra and uncertainties obtained using the passive dosimeter technique. In addition, reaction rates involving short-half-life products important to reactor operation and maintenance were measured.
