The reaction 237

17、Np(n,f) F.P. is useful since it is responsive to a broader range of neutron energies than mostthreshold detectors.5.6 The 237Np fission neutron spectrum-averaged cross section in several benchmark neutron fields are given in Table 3 ofPractice E261. Sources for the latest recommended cross sections

18、are given in Guide E1018. In the case of the 237Np(n,f)F.P.reaction, the recommended cross section source is the ENDF/B-VI cross section (MAT = 9346) revision 1 (3).Fig. 1 shows a plotof the recommended cross section versus neutron energy for the fast-neutron reaction 237Np(n,f)F.P.NOTE 1The data ar

Materials7.1 Neptunium-237 Alloy or OxideHigh-purity 237Np in the form of alloy wire, foil, or oxide powder is available.7.1.1 The 237Np target material should be furnished with a certificate of analysis indicating any impurity concentrations.7.2 Encapsula

25、ting MaterialsBrass, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, vanadium, and quartz have been used as primaryencapsulating materials. The container should be constructed in such a manner that it will not create significant perturbation of theneutron spectrum or fluence rate and that it may be opened easily

26、, especially if the capsule is to be opened remotely. Certainencapsulation materials, for example, quartz and vanadium, allow gamma-ray counting without opening the capsule since there areno interfering activities.8. Procedure8.1 Select the size and shape of the sample to be irradiated, taking into

27、consideration the size and shape of the irradiation space.The mass and exposure time are parameters that can be varied to obtain a desired count rate for a given neutron fluence rate.8.2 Weigh the sample to the accuracy and precision required of the experiment; encapsulate; and, if irradiated in a t

28、hermalneutron environment, surround with a suitable high-melting thermal neutron absorber.NOTE 2The melting point of elemental cadmium is 321C. For additional precautions, see Test Method E262.8.3 Irradiate the sample for the predetermined time period. Record the power level and any changes in power

29、 during theirradiation, the time at the beginning and end of each power level, and the relative position of the monitors in the irradiation facility.8.4 Check the sample for activity from cross contamination by other monitors or material irradiated in the vicinity or from anyforeign substance adheri

30、ng to the sample. Clean and reweigh, if necessary. If the sample is encapsulated oxide powder and if itis necessary to open the capsule, suitable containment will be required.8.4.1 If chemical separation is necessary, dissolution can be achieved in 6 N HCl-1 N HF with periodic additions of H2O2,foll

31、owed by fuming with H2SO4.NOTE 3Fuming with H2SO4 may expel volatile fission product ruthenium and, unless performed with care, losses of other fission products byspattering can occur.8.5 Analyze the sample for fission-product content in disintegrations per second (see Test Methods E181, E320, and E

32、1005).8.5.1 It is assumed that the available apparatus has been calibrated to measure F.P. activity, and that the experimenter is wellversed in the operation of the apparatus.8.5.2 Disintegration of 137Cs nuclei produces 0.662-MeV0.661657-MeV gamma rays with a probability per decay of0.852.0.82102.

33、It is recommended that a 137Cs activity standard is used.8.5.3 If the analyst is well versed in germanium counting and carefully calibrates the system, it is feasible to count137Cs-137mBa, 140Ba-140La, 95Zr, and 144Ce directly without chemical separation. A x-ray shield, at least 2 mm thickness, wil

34、lbe required in the counting process.9. Calculation9.1 Calculate the saturation activity, As, as follows:As 5A/y12e 2ti!e 2tw!# (1)where: = disintegration constant for F.P., s1,A = number of disintegrations, measured during the counting period, s1,ti = irradiation duration, s,tw = elapsed time betwe

35、en the end of irradiation and counting, s, andy = fission yield.NOTE 4This equation applies where transient equilibrium has been established, is that of the parent species. This equation should not be appliedto the Ba/La line but can be applied to the other fission products. See Test Method E393 for

36、 reading the 140B/140La line.NOTE 5The equation for As is valid if the reactor operated at essentially constant power and if corrections for other reactions (for example, impurities,burnout, etc.) are negligible. Refer to Practice E261 for more generalized treatments.9.2 Calculate the reaction rate,

37、6 Rs, as follows:Rs 5As/No (2)6 Within the context of this standard, the terms “fission rate” and “reaction rate” can be used synonymously.E705 134where:No = number of target atoms.9.3 Refer to Practice E261 and Guide E944 for a discussion of the determination of fast neutron fluence rate.10. Report

38、10.1 Practice E261 describes how data should be reported.11. Precision and BiasNOTE 6Measurement of uncertainty is described by a precision and bias statement in this standard. Another acceptable approach is to use Type Aand B uncertainty components (8, 9). This type A/B uncertainty specification is

39、 now used in International Organization for Standardization (ISO)Standards and this approach can be expected to play a more prominent role in future uncertainty analyses.11.1 General practice indicates that disintegration rates can be determined with a bias of 65 % (1S %) and with a precision of61 %

40、 (1S %). (11)11.2 The 237Np cumulative fission product yields have an uncertainty between 2 %2.3 % and 4 %16.3 % (1S %) for the variousfission products as indicated in of interest.Table 1.12.
