Differential Die-Away Instrument: Report on Benchmark Measurements and Comparison with Simulation for the Effects of Neutron Poisons
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
In this report, new experimental data and MCNPX simulation results of the differential die-away (DDA) instrument response to the presence of neutron absorbers are evaluated. In our previous fresh nuclear fuel experiments and simulations, no neutron absorbers or poisons were included in the fuel definition. These new results showcase the capability of the DDA instrument to acquire data from a system that better mimics spent nuclear fuel.
