Abstract Details

2010, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering and Applied Science: Nuclear and Radiological Engineering.
The gamma irradiation facility at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR)is used to deliver a pure gamma dose to any target of interest. in addition to the gamma rays, there are neutron impurities due to spontaneous fissions, gamma neutron reactions, and alpha neutron reactions. Steps have been taken to eliminate the neutrons in the area of interest, but the actual level of neutrons in the facility is unknown. Measurements and MCNPX modeling have verified that neutrons exist in the gamma irradiation facility in quantities as high as 4.43X105 n/cm2s
