Abstract

In the original language

Integral experiments covering neutron leakage from geometrically simple assemblies with a Cf-252 source inside are very valuable tools usable in the validation of transport cross-section data since geometric uncertainties play a much smaller role in simple geometric assemblies than in complex assemblies as for example reactor pressure vessel geometry. Since Cf-252 spontaneous fission is a standard neutron source, the uncertainties connected with the source neutron spectrum can be even neglected. The paper refers to validation efforts of neutron leakage from an similar to 50 x 50 x 50-cm stainless steel block in the Research Center Rez. Both the neutron leakage flux at a distance of 1 m from the center of the cubical assembly using stilbene spectrometry and activation rates at different positions of the assembly were evaluated. In addition to experiments, main sources of uncertainty were identified and evaluated. The results of the stilbene measurements are consistent with the activation measurement results.
