On microdosimetry of neutrons of selectable energy in mixed (n,y) fields [PDF]

, 2012
Biological damage of tissue due to intermediate energy neutrons is generally known to be very important in radiobiology and radiation protection. However, there is no suitable method to determine the quality of these neutrons in particular in the working

Embrittlement of Molybdenum by Neutron Radiation

JOM, 1955
Commercially pure molybdenum specimens were irradiated in the Materials Testing Reactor for an estimated exposure of 1.9 to 5.9×1020 thermal nvt. Prior to irradiation, the material was ductile in the tension test; whereas after irradiation, it was brittle.

Neutron and Non-Neutron Nuclear Data for Radiation Dosimetry [PDF]

, 2001
Neutron nuclear data that is used in reactor dosimetry include thermal neutron cross sections and neutron resonance integrals for reactions on a target nucleus. Non-neutron nuclear data used in reactor dosimetry include isotopic compositions of target nuclides and radioactive half-lives, gamma-ray energies and intensities of reaction product nuclides ...

Neutron star oscillations from starquakes

, 2014
Glitches are sudden increases in the otherwise extremely regular spin rate of pulsars. One theory proposed to account for these glitches is the starquake model, in which the spinup is caused by a sudden rearrangement of the neutron star crust. Starquakes
