Description

Direct photo-neutron source strength was dynamically evaluated for the miniature neutron source reactor (MNSR) in subcritical condition. Two different static methods were applied for comparison. In addition, measurement of the photo-neutron source was made using neutron flux monitors and neutron activation analysis technique. Results for both methods were in good agreement. Dynamics effect of the photo-neutron source on reactor response to reactivity insertions was demonstrated. Photo-neutron source existence due to beryllium reflector was realized
