Abstract

A new experimental installation has been recently commissioned at the High Flux Reactor of Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble (France). It gives access to high intensity neutron spectra from pure thermal (5.6 1014 n/s/cm2) to epithermal (2 1015 n/s/cm2). Several of low mass (10 µg) mono-isotopic targets of actinide elements are in the process of being irradiated and analyzed by a number of techniques, from nuclear spectroscopy to off-line mass spectrometry and innovative double-deposit fission micro-chambers.In the present paper we will present the first experiments carried out at the thermal neutron spectrum installation with 242Pu, 241-243Am samples.
