The neutron spectra of nuclear facilities as the superposition of physically validated spectra

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Abstract

Neutron energy spectra in the energy range 10−10–18 MeV for 100 neutron fields of nuclear reactors and neutron generators are re-established. A method of forming the a priori spectrum in the form of the superposition of physically validated neutron spectra is used in the calculation.
