Thermal neutron intensity measurement with fission chamber in current, pulse and Campbell modes [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020
In thermal nuclear reactors, most of the power is generated by thermal neutron induced fission. Therefore, fission chambers with targets that respond directly to slow neutrons are of great interest for thermal neutron flux measurements due to relatively ...

Thermal conductivity of neutrons in neutron star cores [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2001
The diffusive thermal conductivity of neutrons in dense matter [$ \sim (1 - 8) \times 10^{14}$ g cm$^{-3}$] of neutron star cores is calculated. The contribution from neutron--neutron and neutron--proton collisions is taken into account. We use the transition probabilities calculated for symmetric dense nucleon matter on the basis of the Dirac ...

Investigation on Neutron Flux Effect onto Irradiated Fuel Burn-up Stored in the Reactor TRIGA PUSPATI

Atom Indonesia, 2019
An investigation on the out-core neutron flux in the Reactor TRIGA PUSPATI is carried out in this work to determine whether the thermal and/or fast neutron from the core would cause burn-up of the irradiated fuel stored in the same vicinity of the ...

Fabrication and Characterization of K₂CeCl₅/⁶LiCl and CeCl₃/SrCl₂/⁶LiCl Eutectics for Thermal Neutron Detection

Crystals, 2022
In recent years, thermal neutron detection using scintillators has been used in a wide range of fields. Thus, the development of scintillators with a higher light yield, faster decay, and higher sensitivity for thermal neutrons is required. In this study,

Tolerance Flux of Thermal Neutrons [PDF]

Nature, 1949
THE danger of neutrons on the human body arises from two factors : the slowing down of fast neutrons and the absorption of neutrons. In the case of thermal neutrons, only absorption can take place, either in hydrogen to form a deuteron with emission of a 2.2-MeV. γ-ray, or by nitrogen-14 to form a carbon, with the emission of a 0.7-MeV. proton.

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy: Clinical Application and Research Progress

Current Oncology, 2022
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a binary modality that is used to treat a variety of malignancies, using neutrons to irradiate boron-10 (10B) nuclei that have entered tumor cells to produce highly linear energy transfer (LET) alpha particles and ...
