墙壁反射中子对脉冲堆波形的影响

墙壁的反射中子会对快脉冲堆的波形产生明显的影响.堆芯中子泄漏后,经过墙壁的反射有一定的概率返回堆芯,由于能量的差异,泄漏中子的返回时间是一个连续的分布.传统的双区模型只考虑了相互作用概率,而没有时间信息,尽管可以很好地解决稳态问题,而无法解决瞬态问题.本文采用等效的方法,把泄漏中子等效为时间相关的堆芯本征源,建立了含有反射效应的时间关联双区模型.求解得到的脉冲波形与CFBR-Ⅱ的实验结果一致,从而合理解释了脉冲波形后沿衰减变慢和坪功率提高的实验现象.     

瞬发超临界系统内持续裂变链的发展过程

根据基本的概率理论和瞬发临界附近有限裂变链的发展规律, 推导了单脉冲源条件下脉冲堆引发持续裂变链过程中的中子数与时间关系式, 并得到CFBR-Ⅱ堆上实验的验证. 该关系式进一步发展了Hansen理论模型, 除了可以描述裂变链后期的发展趋势, 还可以描述持续裂变链产生初期中子数的快速增长行为. 讨论了引发时间与源强的关系, 指出在弱源条件下, 引发时间几乎不依赖于源强. 关键词： 持续裂变链 脉冲堆 引发时间     

Influence of thermal and resonance neutron on fast neutron flux measurement by 239Pu fission chamber

The ²³⁹Pu fission chambers are widely used to measure fission spectrum neutron flux due to a flat response to fast neutrons. However, in the meantime the resonance and thermal neutrons can cause a significant influence on the measurement if they are moderated, which could be eliminated by using ¹⁰B and Cd covers. At a column enriched uranium fast neutron critical assembly, the fission reaction rates of ²³⁹Pu are measured as 1.791× 10^-16, 2.350×10^-16 and 1.385× 10^-15 per second for 15 mm thick ¹⁰B cover, 0.5 mm thick Cd cover, and no cover respectively, while the fission reaction rate of ²³⁹Pu is rapidly increased to 2.569× 10^-14 for a 20 mm thick polythene covering fission chamber. The average ²³⁹Pu fission cross-section of thermal and resonance neutrons is calculated to be 500 b and 24.95 b with the assumption of 1/v and 1/E spectra respectively, then thermal, resonance and fast neutron flux are achieved to be 2.30× 10⁶, 2.24× 10⁶ and 1.04× 10⁸ cm^-2·^-1.
