  3. 27. Neutron Irradiation of Concrete at TSL : a Comparison of Nuclide Specific Measurmentswith FLUKA Simulations.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/The Svedberg-laboratoriet

    Author : Christer Åström; [2017]
    Keywords : Neutron; Irradiation; Concrete; FLUKA; The Svedberg Laboratoy; Monte Carlo; Gamma-ray Spectroscopy;

    Abstract : This thesis studies the possibility of using the Monte Carlo simulation program FLUKA to determine the neutron induced radioactivity of concrete walls at the The Svedberg Laboratory (TSL) in Uppsala. If a simulation of the activation would produce reliable results, it would be a useful complement to measurements for the decommissioning and clearance of the buildings of the facility. READ MORE
