Application of serpent code calculations. Tritium production using fast neutrons

This paper focuses on tritium production by fast neutrons (especially neutrons with energy 14.029 MeV). Research on tritium production is important and useful in designing future fusion reactors since tritium serves as the principal fuel in DT fusion. Many neutron reactions of different types of target elements have been explored and some observations have been made. The reaction rate is the basis for an evaluated summary in this paper. Numerous calculations were made using the relatively new Serpent code, the Monte Carlo code initially developed for reactor physics calculations, but continuously updated to become general purpose Monte Carlo particle transport code.
