Use of the threshold detector system is considered for the measurement of neutron dose below the fission threshold of zs7Np.For the real neutron spectra of different critical assemblies the specfic dose in the energy region 400 eV-0.56 MeV varies widely. This leads to inaccuracy in the dose estimate using the simple assumption of a 1/E spectrum. A new interpretation is proposed using a different spectral model, which enables the accuracy of the dose estimate to be greatly improved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
