Abstract
Chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn) are important elements for the reactor technology as they can be used as structural material, reflector material, blanket material, coolant material, shielding material, etc. While the operation of ITER like fusion reactor the energetic gammas will be produced and they can open various reaction channels, such as (γ, p), (γ, n), etc. Effects such as gas production via (γ, p) or sudden temperature rise in a fusion reactor during its operation can severely damage the reactor materials including the above Cr, Fe, Ni, Zn etc. materials. Therefore, it is necessary to know the effects on nuclear reactor materials under such scenario. In present study, for (γ, p) reaction, different level density model calculations have been performed for 52Cr, 54Fe, 60Ni and 64Zn nuclei by using TALYS 1.9 and EMPİRE 3.2.2 codes. Also, the results of newly developed (γ, p) formula for 20 ± 1 MeV by Tel et al., have been compared to theoretical calculations. All these results have been compared with experimental data available in EXFOR data library.
