Description

The knowledge of the neutron spectrum is absolutely necessary for the interpretation of the structure material irradiations. Because of the spectrum variations it is necessary to have the proper damage cross section for the comparison of the different irradiations. At Melusine, the neutron fluences are measured in the loops by the 63Cu(n,α) reaction for the irradiations steel reactor vessel. The study of the neutron spectra is obtained experimentally by the activation detectors In, Ni, Al and theoretically by the transport codes in two dimensions, ANISN-DOT III. The response of the different damage functions was calculated for these spectra. Result point out great sensitivity of spectrum indices and damage answers to rig structure and to source perturbations by close area
