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.

Development of a Fast-Spectrum Self-Powered Neutron Detector for Molten Salt Experiments in the Versatile Test Reactor [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2021 The self-powered neutron detector (SPND) is a widely used flux monitor in thermal nuclear reactors. Although this is a mature technology, the current state of the art is tuned for a thermal neutron spectrum, so many of the devices currently in use lack ...

UCN Source at an External Beam of Thermal Neutrons
Advances in High Energy Physics, 2015 We propose a new method for production of ultracold neutrons (UCNs) in superfluid helium. The principal idea consists in installing a helium UCN source into an external beam of thermal or cold neutrons and in surrounding this source with a solid methane ...

NCrystal: A library for thermal neutron transport
Computer Physics Communications, 2020 An open source software package for modelling thermal neutron transport is presented. The code facilitates Monte Carlo-based transport simulations and focuses in the initial release on interactions in both mosaic single crystals as well as polycrystalline materials and powders.
