Abstract
A method is developed for calculating the neutron yield from heterogeneous water-cooled targets. Comparing the computed and experimentally measured values of the neutron yield for targets consisting of pure lead and tungsten shows that the method is correct. The neutron yield of a variant of a water-cooled target consisting of tin-doped lead and a target consisting of pure lead enclosed in a zirconium shield is calculated for a realistic model. It is shown that the doped lead target gives a higher neutron yield. It is established experimentally that the lead–tin alloy is corrosion-resistant in hot water and that this alloy does not undergo appreciable recrystallization under heat shocks.
