AbstractAbstract
[en] Tritium production and activation of radiochemical detector foils in a sphere of 6LiD irradiated by a central source of 14-MeV neutrons has been reanalyzed. The 6LiD sphere consisted of 10 solid hemispherical nested shells with ampules of 6LiH, 7LiH, and activation foils located 2.2, 5, 7.7, 12.6, 20, and 30 cm from the center. The Los Alamos Monte Carlo Neutron Photon Transport Code (MCNP) was used to calculate neutron transport through the 6LiD, tritium production in the ampules, and foil activation. The MCNP input model was three-dimensional and employed ENDF/B-V cross sections for transport, tritium production, and (where available) foil activation. The reanalyzed experimentally observed-to-calculated values of tritium production were 1.053 +- 2.1% in 6LiH and 0.999 +- 2.1% in 7LiH. The recalculated foil activation observed-to-calculated ratios were not generally improved over those reported in the original analysis
