Survey on experimental neutron physics of CTR blankets in the KFA

The research program of the KFA on neutronic CTR-blanket problems is described by examples of experiments on blanket-model assemblies. The work is in strong correlation with theoretical evaluations of the problems. The main objective is the experimental test of nuclear data and calculational methods by comparison of the results. The properties of the experimental blanket models used are derived from the existing CTR conceptual design studies and from the theory of neutron fields. The limitations of the present blanket experiments are discussed. The development of appropriate measuring techniques is also described
