Study on the Measurement of U-238 Neutron Yield Base on the Fission Chamber

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper discusses a variety of fission neutron yield measurement method, a D-T / D-D neutron yield monitoring of U-238 fission ionization chamber measuring system, the application of spontaneous decay of U-238 α-particles for initial debugging of the system. At different voltage on the α-particle energy spectrum and α particle counts were measured, given the U-238 fission chamber curve to determine the U-238 fission chamber measurement system the best operating parameters.
