Fast neutron fluence measurements with the Nb-93(n,n')Nb-93m reaction and the application to long-term irradiations
Description
A method was developed for the absolute determination of the activity induced in niobium dosimeters. Measured and calculated Nb-93(n,n') reaction rates are compared in a radial reflector position of the BR3 pressurized water reactor and in a core position of the BR2 high flux test reactor. The Nb-93(n.n') reaction is extensively used for fast neutron fluence determination in the pressure vessel surveillance programmes of the Belgian power plants
