Description

A new apparatus for various neutron irradiation experiments has been developed at Kyoto University Reactor. The apparatus can transport a larger space gently to a neutron irradiation field adjacent to the reactor core. Therefore, various samples, for examples, large and liquid samples can be irradiated with neutrons. And also samples can be joined to experimental instruments with tubes that realize online measurements and cyclic irradiation experiments. Since setting samples at different range from the reactor core can change irradiated neutron flux, various experiments by wide range neutron flux can be performed. Neutron activation analysis for large samples and liquid samples becomes enabled by these characteristics. In order to apply the apparatus effectively, the neutron flux and gamma-ray dose rate has been measured at various irradiation position. And changing spectrum of irradiating neutrons has been tried using polyethylene blocks as a moderator. The characteristics of the apparatus and the future plan are reported in this paper. (author)
