Description

A neutron irradiation system is proposed to be constructed to apply for mission track dating method in Geology. A study on methods of neutron beam enhancement has been carried out at Argonauta reactor of the IEN-CNEN Rio de Janeiro and several moderators and its parameters were compared using both Fermi age and diffusion theories. A neutron flux trap is suggest to be constructed for changing 1/10 of volume from a J-9 graphite beam plug by the same volume of heavy water. (author). 6 refs., 2 figs., 2 tabs
