Abstract

Abstract The fission products' gamma-ray and gamma-ray energy source spectra for a gas-cooled fast breeder reactor (GCFR) are calculated for different times after shutdown by modifying the RIBD computer code. The secondary gamma-ray energy source spectrum in the core of a GCFR, from fission, inelastic scattering, and capture reactions, is calculated using a typical GCFR neutron spectrum. The computer code LAPHANO is used to generate the multigroup (n, xγ) neutron-coupled gamma-ray transfer matrix. The weak dependence of capture and inelastic gamma ray source spectrum on the neutron flux spectrum has been noted. The fission products and secondary gamma-ray source spectra obtained can be used to calculate heat generation and refueling shielding requirements, etc.
