Pulse neutron experiment for accelerator-driven system, 2

Nishihara, Kenji  ; Sugawara, Takanori  ; Tsujimoto, Kazufumi ; Kitamura, Yasunori; Pyeon, C. H.*

The regression method for pulse neutron source (PNS) experiment has been developed to monitor sub-criticality of an accelerator-driven system (ADS). This method is applicable for PNS experiment with bad experimental conditions, such as high repetition of neutron source that makes the alpha-fitting method difficult to determine delayed neutron level. In the present study, the regression method was verified using the KUCA-A core with various sub-critical levels induced by DT neutrons with several numbers of repetitions. As a result, the discrepancy of $$k$$$$_{eff}$$ and count rates between experiment and the regression method was observed for the low repetitions. Further investigation for background is necessary in next study.
