Abstract

It is proposed to use high-intensity neutron fields with an average neutron energy of 0.7–1.5 MeV at the center of the metallic core of fast reactors as the primary standard neutron fields along with the known standard fields of fission neutrons with average energies of 1.93 and 2.13 MeV, respectively, from 235U and 252Cf nuclei, which are used in the world practice of taking neutron measurements. It is also proposed to create standard fields of nuclear fission neutrons with an average energy of ≥2 MeV by the bombardment of 235U converters with a beam of fast monoenergetic neutrons with energies of 2.5 and 14 MeV and 50-MeV protons.
