AbstractAbstract
[en] This report is intended to make it easier to apply the measured data obtained from the Special Materials Experiment, which was conducted at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) during about a month beginning at the end of June, 1992 as the last one of a series of eight experiments planned for the Japanese-American Shielding Program for Experimental Research (JASPER) which was started in 1986. For this reason, the information presented includes specifications and measurement data for all configurations, compositions of all materials, characteristics of the measurement system, and daily-basis records of measurements. The Special Materials Experiment was planned to obtain the data of neutron attenuation characteristics of selected shielding materials for use in advanced fast reactors. The material of particular interest for the experiment was zirconium hydride that is rich in hydrogen. The mockup slabs for the special materials were preceded by the spectrum modifier behind the TSR-II reactor of Tower Shielding Facility. The layer of zirconium hydride was simulated with a combination of zirconium and polyethylene slabs. The thick layer of polyethylene with no zirconium was installed in some configurations. Neutron flux was measured behind the configurations with various types of detectors. The integral neutron flux in wide energy region was measured in eight configurations and neutron spectrum in high energy region was measured also in almost all configurations. Information presented in this report is based mainly on a report issued by ORNL (ORNL/TM-12277. 'Measurements for the JASPER Program Special Materials Experiment'). Additional information reported by the assignee is utilized also. (author)
