Abstract

Activities related to detector development, testing, characterisation and applications belong to key research objectives of the VR-1 reactor facility. The contribution gives a review of related improvements, achievements, used approaches, methods, and trends.

Highlights

  • Neutron and gamma detection and spectrometric systems have plenty of research and industrial applications

  • The VR-1 reactor facility is primarily oriented on education and training with significant international impact in this field [1,2]

  • Gamma spectrometry lab is used mainly for neutron activation analysis of samples irradiated in the reactor

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Neutron and gamma detection and spectrometric systems have plenty of research and industrial applications. Development of such systems and adaptation of their use for specific application often requires extensive experimental effort. At VR-1 reactor facility operated by the Czech Technical University in Prague the infrastructure for detector development and testing is being developed to provide experimental support in all phases of detection system development. This includes conditions for initial detector testing, detection system characterisation and calibration, and application oriented testing
