Standard Test Method for Measuring Fast-Neutron Reaction Rates by Radioactivation of Nickel
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
Scope
1.1 This test method describes procedures for measuring reaction rates by the activation reaction 58 Ni(n,p) 58 Co.
1.2 This activation reaction is useful for measuring neutrons with energies above approximately 2.1 MeV and for irradiation times up to about 200 days in the absence of high thermal neutron fluence rates (for longer irradiations, see Test Method E261).
1.3 With suitable techniques fission-neutron fluence rates densities above 10 cm -2 [dot]s -1 can be determined.
1.4 Detailed procedures for other fast-neutron detectors are referenced in Test Method E261.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
