Abstract

The performance of the upstream moderator for neutron beams 1, 4, 5, 6, and 9 extracted from the IBR-2 reactor is simulated towards selecting its optimum configuration. For different moderator options, gain factors with respect to the existing comb-shaped water moderator are computed. Taking into account the technological issues in manufacturing a combined moderator, the scheme with optimal physical characteristics is selected.
