Safety issue of the cold neutron source at the WWR-M reactor
- 1. State Research Centre Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute, Gatchina (Russian Federation)
Description
In depth studies of cold neutron sources have been carried out at the Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute since the early 1970's. The 18 MW WWR-M reactor has been developed to allow a cold source to produce at experimental installation a polarized cold neutron flux of 6x108n/cm2s and an ultracold neutron flux of 6x103 n/cm2s. Experience gained with the WWR-M and other reactors has resulted in a safety strategy. That includes the hazards of operating hydrogen and also provided insight into the reactivity effects of a cold source on the reactor core. 10 refs., 5 figs
