Changing the amount of absorption or reflection of neutrons will affect neutron flux, and therefore, the power of the reactor.
32.
It is a compact device extensively used worldwide for mapping of neutron flux, helping the reactor-operators in maintaining the neutron economy.
33.
Highly enriched uranium in a high-density uraniun silicide-aluminium dispersion fuel element yields an excellent ratio of neutron flux to thermal power.
34.
The extra neutron produced by fusion and the extra neutron released directly by lithium-7 decay produced a much larger neutron flux.
35.
AHRs were widely used as research reactors as they are self-controlling, have very high neutron fluxes, and were easy to manage.
36.
An external shell of 181 Ta would be irradiated by the intensive high-energy neutron flux from a hypothetical exploding nuclear weapon.
37.
Well, this goes back to the original question : the time constant for the exponential blowup in neutron flux is very little.
38.
The purpose of the neutron reflector is to improve neutron economy in the reactor, and hence to increase the maximum neutron flux.
39.
In comparison with radionuclide neutron sources, neutron tubes can produce much higher neutron fluxes and monochromatic neutron energy spectrums can be obtained.
40.
The main advantages are the reliability and ease of use of this design of reactor and the reproducibility of the neutron flux.
