Neutron yield from gamma ray incineration of radioactive fission products

الملخص EN

The neutron flux in this paper, which is generated as a result of γ incineration of the radioactive fisssion products isotopes, has been evaluated.

It is obvious from this paper that the neutron flux value depends on the number of incineration nuclei and the nuclear cross-section of the incinerated isotopes, and the neutron flux is directly dependent on γ-ray flux.

The neutron flux increases from 10 10 to 10 17 n / s.gm as the irradiation flux increases from 1016to 1020 γ / cm2.s.

It is concluded that the γ-incineration technique can be used to produce a switchable neutron source of high flux.
