Book Description
The Coupled Fast Reactivity Measurements Facility (CFRMF) has been used for several years in fast neutron dosimetry studies. These studies have included the neutron energy spectrum, dosimetry cross-sections, fission product yields, dosimeter calibration and testing, fission rate measurements, detector calibrations, helium production cross-sections, flux distributions and various other integral cross-sections. The CFRMF neutron field has been established as a dosimetry benchmark neutron field and has been involved extensively in inter-laboratory reaction rate measurements testing programs. The available and reproducible neutron flux densities of up to 8.6 x 1011 n/cm2/sec make it useful for dosimetry testing more closely related to power and test reactor fluences. Methods and equipment have been developed to provide the testing of dosimeters and for producing irradiated dosimeter standards. The production of these standards and the testing of dosimeters are vital to the dosimetry of test and power reactors to assure that radiation measurements are producing the correct results.
