Design of a graphite-moderated $$^{241}$$Am-Li neutron field to simulate reactor spectra

Tsujimura, Norio   ; Yoshida, Tadayoshi 

The neutron calibration field using $$^{241}$$Am-Li sources and a moderator was designed to simulate neutron fields found outside the reactor. The moderating assembly selected for the design calculation consists of a cube of graphite blocks with dimensions of 50 cm by 50 cm by 50 cm, in which $$^{241}$$Am-Li sources are placed. The depths of the source position were optimized to be 15 cm through Monte Carlo calculations. This moderated neutron source will provide a test field that has a large number of intermediate energy neutrons with a small portion of MeV component.
