Summary
Reaction rates have been measured in the lattice and reflector of NRX for those neutron activation reactions of chlorine and sulphur that lead to the production of38Cl,32P and35S. The effective cross-sections of these reactions for reactor neutrons have been calculated from cobalt monitors enclosed with the irradiated samples.
Riassunto
Le Sezioni d’urto della reazioni di attivazione di cloro e zolfo con neutroni per produrre38Cl,32P e35S, sono state misurate nel reticolo degli elementi di combustibile e nel riflettore del reattore NRX. Le sezioni d’urto «efficace» di queste reazioni per neutroni prodotti da reattore sono state calcolate irraggiando contemporaneamente fili di cobalto come monitori di flusso.
