Title: Gamma-ray spectroscopy following high-flux 14-MeV neutron activation

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:6933330

The Rotating Target Neutron Source (RTNS-1), a high-intensity source of 14-MeV neutrons at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), has been used for applications in activation analysis, inertial-confinement-fusion diagnostic development, and fission decay heat studies. The fast-neutron flux from the RTNS-1 is at least 50 times the maximum fluxes available from typical neutron generators, making these applications possible. Facilities and procedures necessary for gamma-ray spectroscopy of samples irradiated at the RTNS-1 were developed.
