Measurement and calculation of Ta-182 in a spallation neutron target

Measured and calculated activities of 182Ta in an ISIS spallation neutron target irradiated over five years are compared. The measurements were carried out by gamma-ray spectroscopy through the thick lead walls of a storage flask, and the calculations were carried out using MCNPX and CINDER-90. The...

Zusammenfassung:Measured and calculated activities of 182Ta in an ISIS spallation neutron target irradiated over five years are compared. The measurements were carried out by gamma-ray spectroscopy through the thick lead walls of a storage flask, and the calculations were carried out using MCNPX and CINDER-90. The agreement between measurement and calculation is good.
