Study of 239Pu(n,f) prompt fission neutron spectrum

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The experimental data concerning 239Pu prompt fission neutron spectrum above 10 MeV are sparse, and no spectrum averaged cross section has been measured in this neutron field yet. The first measurement was performed at the IBR-2 reactor, which uses plutonium dioxide fuel. The present work aimed at the measurement of spectral averaged cross sections for high threshold reactions such as 46Ti(n,p)46Sc, 54Fe(n,p)54Mn, 58Ni(n,X)57Co, 89Y(n,2n)88Y, and 209Bi(n,3n)207Bi to explore the high energy region of the 239Pu prompt fission neutron spectrum. Measurement of spectrum averaged cross section for the 89Y(n,2n)88Y reaction is included in NEA high priority request list. The 58Ni(n,p)58Co reaction was employed as a monitor reaction. The experimental spectral averaged cross sections were derived from reaction rates measured by means of high purity Germanium spectrometry. The experimental values were compared with spectrum averaged cross sections compiled from either ENDF/B-VIII.0, GMA or JEFF-3.3 239Pu prompt fission neutron spectrum and IRDFF-II cross sections. The best agreement, i.e. within uncertainties, was achieved using GMA 239Pu prompt fission neutron spectrum for all reactions under study. Calculation results using JEFF-3.3 and ENDF/B-VIII.0 evaluations of the 239Pu prompt fission neutron spectrum agree well with the experimental data except for the high energy region reflected in the disagreement with the 209Bi(n,3n)207Bi reaction.
