Evaluation of neutron response of criticality accident alarm system detector to quasi-monoenergetic 24 keV neutrons

Tsujimura, Norio   ; Yoshida, Tadayoshi ; Yashima, Hiroshi*

The criticality accident alarm system (CAAS), recently developed and installed at the Tokai Reprocessing Plant of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, consists of a plastic scintillator combined with a cadmium-lined polyethylene moderator and thereby responds both to neutrons and $$gamma$$ rays. To evaluate the neutron absorbed dose rate response of the CAAS detector, a 24 keV quasi-monoenergetic neutron irradiation experiment was performed at the B-1 facility of Kyoto University Research Reactor. The evaluated neutron response of the detector was confirmed to be in reasonably good agreement with the prior computer-predicted response.
