Abstract

A rapid vertical transportation system for irradiation with thermal and fast neutrons is devised and partly constructed for inserting samples into the central thimble of our TRIGA MARK II reactor. Fast neutrons will be produced by a6LiD-converter, so that the energy distribution of neutrons is hardened by absorption of thermal and by the production of 14 MeV neutrons. In pulse irradiation, the 14 MeV-neutron flux is expected to be in the order of 1012/s. The transportation time is to be below 30ms to enable determination of short-lived nuclides down to 15ms. Helium will be used as propelling gas.
