Abstract
A series of measurements of ∼14-MeV deuterium-tritium neutrons streaming through a slit and a duct in concrete shields has been carried out using a Cockcroft-Walton-type neutron generator. Measured neutron energy spectra are compared with calculations in six configurations of the shields. The configurations are the simplified geometries of streaming paths of tokamak reactors, such as a divertor throat and a neutral beam injection port. The measured data were obtained with an NE-213 liquid scintillator using pulse shape discrimination methods to resolve neutron and gamma-ray pulse height data and using a spectral unfolding code to convert these data to energy spectra. The experiments were analyzed by a Monte Carlo code. The calculated neutron energy spectra slightly underestimate the measured data, especially in the range of 6 to 8 MeV. The agreement between the calculated and measured integral flux above 2.2 MeV ranges from 87.5 to 72.7% depending on the configurations.
