Abstract

Using the facilities of the Triga Mark III reactor at the NNRI, Mexico and the HAV-1 multipurpose monitor, the reactor power dependency for thek 0-standardization essential neutron flux parameters as: epithermal shape factor (α), thermal to epithermal ratio (f) and neutron temperature (T n ) were experimentally obtained. Evaluation of the obtained dependencies shows that it is unnecessary to analyze the possible introduction of correction factors in thek 0-INAA experimental results. A single experimental procedure to determine α throughf is suggested.
