Description
Fluence determinations for 2.5, 5.0 and 14 MeV neutrons as performed in standard laboratories have been compared. Two methods of intercomparison were used: One is based on the determination of a γ-rate ratio between 115Insup(m) as induced by fast neutrons in an indium sample on one hand and 15Cr from a calibrated source on the other hand and is used at all energies. The second method is restricted to 14 - 15 MeV neutrons and is based on measuring the 92Nbsup(m) γ-activity induced in a niobium sample. Results show that the uncertainty contribution from the transfer methods does not essentially increase the overall uncertainty and that there is generally consistency
