Description

The manganous selfate (MnSO4) bath method has been in use over two decades for the most accurate measurement of neutron emission rate. The MnSO4 bath has been developed accordingly and the bath system has been operated for the standardization of neutron measurements at the Korea Standards Research Institute (KSRI) since 1986. In this research work, a spontaneous fission source, Cf-252, as the reference neutron source calibrated by the standard neutron source, Am-Be, is introduced to determine the characteristics of the bath system in terms of the bath efficiency, the saturated manganese activity, the inverse manganese (55Mn) neutron capture fraction and eventually the bath system correction factor
