  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Abstract

The basic principles of the solution of the problem of establishing a neutron spectrum from the results of measurements with integrated detectors and of realizing these principles in a new version of the KASKAD-620(176) software are described. The program is designed to determine the spectrum of neutrons not only in the neutron fields of nuclear reactors and in critical assemblies but also in the fields of thermonuclear neutron sources.
