Neutron spectrum at the center of a cylindrical caisson in the KVANT criticality test stand

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

An activation method is used to measure and calculate the neutron spectrum inside a cylindrical caisson in the KVANT criticality test stand. This is compared with the neutron spectrum near the inner surface of the core housing of the test stand.
