Report
Calibration of neutron survey instruments, scatter corrections for a population of instruments and organizational aspects
Description
The University of Arkansas is developing a decommissioned reactor site. SEFOR, into a neutron calibration facility for survey instruments. In the relatively small, enclosed cell at SEFOR, wall-scatter corrections for two commercial remmeters of different design are presented for a population of measurements over a period of 1 1/2 years. For the population of measurements, nominal wall-scatter coefficients are 0.38 +- 0.04 (one S.D.) for the Eberline PRS-2 model and 0.29 +- 0.06 for the NRC, Inc. NP-2 model. All measurements are with Cf-252 neutrons moderated by 15 cm of D2O. Organizational aspects, concerning remmeter calibrations for nuclear power plants, are also briefly discussed
