Abstract

We proposed the neutron spectrum measurement system for Advanced Fusion Neutron Source (A-FNS). It is configured with fission chambers, Self-Powered Neutron Detectors, neutron activation systems using water flow, and activation monitors. In this study, we mainly investigated the multiple activation foils which are sensitive to high energy neutrons. We selected 14 main dosimetry threshold reactions based on specific A-FNS usage conditions. The reactions are as follows: 55Mn(n,2n)54Mn, 59Co(n,p)59Fe, 59Co(n,2n)58Co, 59Co(n,3n)57Co, 75As(n,2n)74As, 89Y(n,2n)88Y, 93Nb(n,2n)92mNb, 169Tm(n,2n)168Tm, 169Tm(n,3n)167Tm, 197Au(n,2n)196Au, 197Au(n,3n)195Au, 209Bi(n,3n)207Bi, 209Bi(n,4n)206Bi, and 209Bi(n,5n)205Bi. The dosimetry reaction rates were calculated using Monte Carlo code MCNP-5.15 with McDeLicious-11 and nuclear data libraries FENDL-3.1c, IRDFF-1.05 and EAF-2010. As for neutron-induced cross section data of the reactions in the high energy region, we clarified that there were limited experimental data, and proposed new experiment for their evaluations.
