Prompt Fission Neutron Spectra in Supercritical Accidents (Influence on the Fission Spectrum-averaged cross-sections of Some Threshold Activation Reactions)

Abstract

On the assumption that the spectral distribution of prompt fission neutrons released from supercritical accidents can be expressed by the generalized Cranberg form with two spectral parameters, which is then transformed into the single parameter form, a variation of the fission spectrum-averaged cross-sections for some threshold reactions with varying the spectral parameter has teen calculated using an electronic computer. It appears that the average cross-sections are very sensitive to the spectral deformation, especially those for the detectors having the threshold at high neutron energy are high compared to those for the detectors of which the threshold energies are comparatively low.

핵임계 사고시에 방출되는 즉발중성자 스펙트럼을 두개의 스펙트럼 매개변수를 갖는 일반화된 Cranberg 식으로 표시할 수 있다고 가정한 다음, 이들 매개변수를 변화시키면서 몇개의 발단 방사화검출체에 대한 평균핵반응단면적의 변화를 고속전자계산기로 계산하였다. 평균핵반응 단면적은 스펙트럼 변화에 따라 민감하게 변화하는데 발단 방사화 에너지가 높을수록 그 변화정도가 심한것 같았다.
