Neutron flux measurements have been made (1)2 of low-level neutron sources present in several types of neutron-producing facilities. The flux levels or distribution of thermal, epithermal, and fast neutrons have been measured in radioisotope sources, spent fuel element gamma irradiation facilities, and electron linear accelerators. Sensitivities greater than 1 neutron per sq cm per sec have been achieved for thermal neutrons. Neutron flux measurements may be made by several methods (2). Foil activation (3) is a convenient and simple technique. The foils containing materials of known cross-section are exposed to the neutrons, and the flux determinations are made by measurement of the induced activities in the irradiated foils. This technique is widely used for measuring neutron fluxes and spectra in nuclear reactors and critical facilities where the neutron fluxes are large (106 to 1014 neutrons per sq cm per sec). To measure neutron fluxes of smaller magnitude, such as those found in isotope sources, gamma irradiation facilities, or outside reactor shielding (1⁄4106 neutrons per sq cm per sec), special foil dosimetry techniques or counting methods are required to obtain sufficient sensitivity for the radioactivity measurements. The theoretical and experimental considerations for neutron detectors of high sensitivity and several programs in which these detectors were used are discussed.

Activation foil detectors were used to measure the fast-neutron spectrum, slowing-down age, and thermal-diffusion length in concrete. The neutron source was a uranium fission plate placed in the graphite thermal column of the University of Virginia Reactor. Experimental concrete slabs were placed in the concrete biological shield of the reactor so that the medium was essentially infinite in the lateral direction. Indium, magnesium, and aluminum threshold foils were used to map the fast flux; indium, gold, tungsten, and manganese resonance foils to measure the neutron age; and indium and gold foils to measure the thermal neutron distribution. The fast spectrum retains essentially the fission shape with a slight dip in the 3- to 5-MeV range. The measured ages are essentially the same, l49 cm to the indium, gold, and tungsten resonances and 126 sq cm to the manganese resonances. The thermal diffusion length was measured as 6.0 plus or minus 0.5 cm. (Author).

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the neutron spectrum of the ISU AGN201 reactor using both computer calculations and physical measurements and then to make comparisons between the results provided by the different methods. The regions of interest in the reactor for neutron spectral measurements were the core center region and the reflector region. Computer simulations performed using MCNP5 and DISNEL were both used to obtain neutron spectra. For the experimental portions, several foils were irradiated in the regions of interest. Each foil had a unique response function and could thus provide independent information that could then be used to obtain a neutron spectrum. Since there were fewer foil activation responses than the desired number of energy groups, the problem was under-determined; therefore, unfolding methods had to be utilized. The modified least-squares method and the maximum entropy method were both used. The MAXED software package was used for the maximum entropy method. MAXED indicated spectra with higher thermal neutron contributions and lower fast neutron contributions than the default MCNP spectra indicated for both the center and reflector regions. The modified least-squares method was very consistent with default MCNP spectra and provided significant uncertainty reduction. DISNEL and MCNP agreed very well for the center spectrum and fairly well for the reflector spectrum. This consistency illustrates that MCNP, with the most current set of cross-sections, and spectral measurement methods using the analysis tools described herein, are equally reliable methods of determining neutron spectra in a reactor of the relative simplicity of the AGN reactor.
