Description

A computation model of 14 MeV neutron from the 6LiD convertor has been established, the 14 MeV neutron sources and flux in the irradiation samples from the 6LiD convertor and the core have been computed separately, the neutron spectrum in the irradiation samples have been computed, too. The results show that the neutron sources that over 13 MeV account for 1 MeV above in the 6LiD convertor is 25.7%, 24.6% respectively, 14 MeV neutron sources get 4.31 × 1013 nT·s-1, 3.34 × 1013 nT·s-1, 14 MeV neutron flux get 2.66 × 1010 nT·cm-2·s-1, 3.53 × 1010 nT·cm-2·s-1, as He and H2O charged in the irradiation capsule.
