Fission Parameters Measurements for Np, Pu, Am, and Cm Isotopes Inside a Salt Blanket Micromodel

The MAKET zero-power heavy water reactor has been used at ITEP to measure the fission characteristics of the Np, Pu, Am, and Cm isotopes in the 0.52NaF+0.48ZrF_4 melt-filled salt blanket micromodel. The 237Np(n,f), 238Pu(n,f), 239Pu(n,f), 240Pu(n,f), 241Pu(n,f), 242m^Am(n,f), 243Cm(n,f), 245Cm(n,f), 247Cm(n,f), 238U(n,f), 238U(n,g), 235U(n,f) fission reaction rates have been measured. The neutron spectrum in the isotope irradiation locations was monitored by measuring the rates of the (235U(n,f), 238U(n,g), 55Mn(n,g), 63Cu(n,g), 176Lu(n,g), 197Au(n,g), 115In(n,n'), 27Al(n,4He), and 64Zn(n,p)) reactions whose cross sections have been commonly accepted. The measured functionals are compared with the respective results of MCNP code simulation obtained using the ENDF/B6 and JENDL3.2 neutron databases.

Experimental and Computer Simulation Study of the Radionuclides Produced in Thin Bi-209 Targets by 130 MeV and 1.5 GeV Protons

The results of experimental and computer simulation studies of the yields of residual product nuclei in Bi-209 thin targets irradiated by 130 MeV and 1.5 GeV protons are presented. The yields were measured by direct high-precision gamma-spectrometry. The gamma-spectrometer resolution was 1.8 keV in the 1332 keV line. The gamma-spectra were processed by the ASPRO code. The gamma-lines were identified, and the cross sections defined, by the SIGMA code using the GDISP radioactive database. The process was monitored by the Al-27(p,x)Na-24 reaction. Results are presented for comparisons between the 209-Bi(p,x) reaction yields obtained experimentally and simulated by the HETC, GNASH, LAHET, INUCL, CEM95, CASCADE, and ALICE codes.
