Adjustment of the Parameters in the Calculations of the γ-Production Data

Introduction The γ-production data are very important for the nuclear engineering, especially for the calculations of the radiation shielding. Because the experimental values of the γ-production data can not satisfy the needs of the nuclear engineering both in the quantity of the nuclei and in the energy region covered by them, as the supplement, the theoretical calculations of the γ-production data are indispensable. The γ-production data in the nuclear reactions induced by neutrons include the γ-production cross sections, the γ-energy spectra, the γ-multiplicities and the reaction cross sections of the (n,γ) and the (n,xγ) reactions, where the (n,xγ) reactions mean     

Influence of the Electron Emission on the Properties of the Cathode Sheath

There are many cathode electron emission mechanisms which have been discussed [1]. But in arc discharge ) the thermionic and the field emission playan important role. The electron emission has influence on the properties of cathode fall region, whichcan be divided into two subzonesf space charge zoneand ionization zone [21. In this paper, the spacecharge zone is called cathode sheath (CS). The cathode sheath, being nearest to the cathode surface, isaffected by the electron emission first. Th…     

Effects of the radiative recombination on the intensity and polarization of the Ly-α emission of hydrogen-like ions

The intensity ratio of the to photon emission is analyzed for hydrogen-like Fe²⁵⁺ ions if their excitation arises in a plasma not only from the electron impact but also due to the radiative recombination (RR) of initially bare Fe²⁶⁺ ions. Under such conditions, the intensity ratio and the (degree of) linear polarization of the Ly-α₁ line are explored for collisions with an electron beam over a wide range of kinetic energies up to 50 keV. Apart from the direct population of the 2p_1/2,3/2 levels via the RR of bare ions, the contributions from radiative cascades and higher multipoles are taken into account by applying a fully relativistic theory for the motion of the electrons and the electron-photon coupling. Our calculations show an overall small effect of the RR upon the degree of the Ly-α₁ polarization as well as the intensity ratio under usual plasma conditions. However, the effects from the RR of initially bare ions may become significant at electron beam energies , for plasma conditions far away from ionization equilibrium with a relatively large proportion of bare Fe ions, as it may be realized in electron-beam ion trap experiments.     

Analysis of the Water Hammer in the Secondary Loop of CEFR

The coolant of the primary loop and secondary loop of CEFR is sodium. The reaction of sodium with water during the leakage of SG will induce the water hammer in the secondary loop. The water hammer in the loop would cause the pipeline to swing, the support of the pipeline to snap, the pipeline to break, even the nuclear power station to shutdown directly. The water hammer is an important issue of the design and safe analysis of CEFR.

Investigation of the Parallel Flow in the Edge Plasma of EAST

The effects of the E × B drift and ballooning-like transport on the edge plasma in EAST tokamak are investigated with a simplified fluid model. The simulation results show that the E × B drift and ballooning-like transport affect the plasma behavior. When the toroidal field is reversed, at the low field side the density is much larger and temperatures （both electron and ion） are lower, and the profiles of the density and temperatures become more symmetric. With the ballooning-like transport considered, the spatial ballooning-like distribution at the low field side is not very important, but the magnitude affects the ratios of the inner/outer particle flux and energy as well as the E × B drift. At the top of the scrape-off layer, the Mach number exceeding 0.3 for the normal toroidal field and approaching 0.2 for the reversed toroidal field in the simulation are obtained when the drift and ballooning-like transport are included in the model.

Investigation of the radiation characteristics of the masonry in the ai uranium–graphite reactor

The results of investigations of the nuclear safety of the masonry in the AI uranium–graphite (Industrial Association Mayak) reactor are presented. It is concluded on the basis of these results that the masonry is nuclear safe and a radiation certificate is composed. The radiation examination made it possible to determine the level, composition, and distribution of the radioactive contamination of the masonry as well as the level and distribution of the neutron and γ radiation, and to construct a forecast of the change in the activity of radionuclides in graphite as a function of the holding time. These data are necessary for safety analysis and for making decisions about the subsequent stages of decommissioning of the reactor.

Calculation of the spectra of fission neutrons emitted at angles of 0, 45, and 90° to the direction of flight of the fragments

The evaporation model is used to solve the problem of the spectrum of neutrons emitted by fission Fragments at angIes of 0, 45, and 90° to the direction of flight of the fragments. It is assumed that the neutrons are emitted isotropically in a coordinate system associated with the fragment. The spectra calculated are in good agreement with the experimental data.Translated from Atomnaya Énergiya, Vol. 13, No. 6, pp. 530–533, December, 1962

Influence of granulation of the sample on the thermal neutron Σa measurement

The theoretical approach to the influence of granulation of samples on the measured thermal neutron absorption cross-section has been verified in an experiment on samples containing irregular grains. The neutron absorption heterogeneity effect is defined as the ratio G of the absorption cross-section of the grained sample to the cross-section of the corresponding homogenised medium. The parameter G=1 when the heterogeneity of a material does not influence the thermal neutron transport, otherwise G<1. The theoretical limit, for the “sufficiently small” grains, G→1, has been experimentally confirmed on samples of pure silicon. For the complex media: diabase grains (size from 6.3 to 12.8 mm) embedded in aqueous solutions of boric acid (1.3–2.5% weight concentration), the G parameter achieves values between 0.9 and 0.8. The observed effect can be result in an underestimation of the absorption cross-sections measured on samples insufficiently crumbled.

Drawbacks of the Classical Theory of the α-Rossi Method and Its Alternative

Certain contradictions and inaccuracies in the classical theory of the -Rossi stochastic neutron method are pointed out. An alternative theory which is almost free of contradictions and deficiencies of the classical theory is presented.A new implementation regime for the method is proposed to eliminate any influence of the prestart dip on the correlated amplitude in the -Rossi method using modern time-delay analyzers – the scaled start regime, consisting in triggerings of the time-delay analyzer scaled by two, three, or more signals from the starting neutron detector. It is shown that the correlated amplitude contains the ratio of the first and second moments of the number of prompt neutrons in a chain.A new expression is obtained for taking account of the spatial-energy effect in the -Rossi method. The effect differs from the well-known one not only by the energy component but also by a large range of possible values.The possibilities of the -Rossi method for determining the physical parameters of multiplying and nonmultiplying media are considered: , k _p, k, _eff, F, F _s, and D.
