System of Standard Neutron Sources on Neutronic Setups for Monitoring, Certification, and Calibration of Apparatus and Equipment

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

A methodological provision system for neutron measurements performed using neutronic setups is described. The metrological characteristics of standard sources of neutrons of five different groups, created based on nuclear reactors and 14 MeV neutron generators, are presented. The neutron spectra are calculated by a standard method and presented in a unified analytical form as a superposition of physically validated spectra.
