Testing of graphite thermal neutron scattering law data in support of treat neutronic analysis

Journal Article Hawari, A. I. ; Wormald, J. L. ; Manring, C. A. - Transactions of the American Nuclear Society

The Transient Reactor Test Facility (TREAT) has historically provided the capability for transient fuel performance and safety testing in the United States. The operation of this facility was suspended in 1994. However, in recent years preparations for the restart of TREAT were initiated. TREAT is a graphite moderated and air cooled reactor. Its core is composed of a 19 x 19 array of fuel assemblies that contain UO{sub 2} (HEU) fuel particles dispersed in a graphite matrix, along with reflector assemblies filled with graphite only. Each fuel assembly is 8 feet tall with a fueled region that is 4 feetmore »« less
ON THE EVALUATION OF THE THERMAL NEUTRON SCATTERING LAW

Journal Article Egelstaff, P A ; Schofield, P - Nuclear Sci. and Eng.

The msgnitude of the scattering cross section for slow neutrons by atomic systems (gases, liquids, and polycrystalline solids) is governed by the correlated motions of atoms in the system. A major contributlon to the scattering is determined by the motion of single atoms. The dominant part of this contribution is determined by the velocity autocorrelation function for an atom ln the system. The aim here is to show how the autocorrelation function can be derived from experimental scattering data for small momentum transfers and to give methods of evaluation of the corresponding part of the cross section for all momentummore »« less
Comparison of MCNP thermal scattering laws to inelastic neutron scattering data

Journal Article Lavelle, C. M. ; Leung, K. K.H. ; Ito, T. M. - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

Neutron transport computations employ thermal scattering laws (TSLs) to account for the influence of material structure and collective excitations at low energy (≲ 10 eV). Recent work has been undertaken to improve TSL accuracy and expand the number of available materials in the Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF). However, comparison of TSL to measured data is often sparse. In this work, we present a method to evaluate TSL accuracy in the Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) code by simulating inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurement and comparing to data. The method is briefly described with example application to the recently released ENDF-VIIImore »« less

THE EGELSTAFF-SCHOFIELD APPORACH TO THERMAL NEUTRON SCATTERING LAW DATA

Technical Report Nelkin, M S

Outlines are given of the ideas of Egelstaff and Schofield concerning the interpretation of thermal-neutron scatteringlaw data, and a program of data analysis and numerical reconstruction of the scattering law. (B.O.G.)
