Feasibility study of an intense pulsed neutron source based on a powerful electron accelerator and a pulsed nuclear reactor

A promising candidate for a highly intense neutron source is a system coupling a powerful pulsed electron accelerator and a pulsed fact-neutron nuclear reactor. The LIU-10-GIR complex, located at the All-Russian Institute of Experimental Physics (VNIIEF), is described. Experiments were carried out d...

Description
Summary:A promising candidate for a highly intense neutron source is a system coupling a powerful pulsed electron accelerator and a pulsed fact-neutron nuclear reactor. The LIU-10-GIR complex, located at the All-Russian Institute of Experimental Physics (VNIIEF), is described. Experiments were carried out during 1984-1990 to study the joint operation of these two widely differing physical systems and resolve basic scientific research problems. Experimental results are given, and the potential use of such a system as an intense neutron source is suggested.
