Introduction

• Problem of nuclear energy – long half – life of nuclear waste

• Solution= Transmutation– Changing stability of radioisotope by interaction of

neutron– Shorter half - life

Page 3: The use of tantalum foil in the study of production and transport of neutrons in assemblies with lead target irradiated by high energy deuterons Autor:

Main goal:• To measure the quantity,

spatial distribution and energy of neutrons in the transmutation system by tantalum foil

Threshold energy

• Energy, which is the lowiest for special (n,xn) reaction

Spectra analysis

• Fit of peaks by special (Gauss) function– Integral area

Page 6: The use of tantalum foil in the study of production and transport of neutrons in assemblies with lead target irradiated by high energy deuterons Autor:

Data analysis• The measured amount of gamma-rays of

special line was calculated to obtain the total number of radioisotope with specific line.

• The total number of nuclei of specific isotope was calculated from these values by using the formula for the weighted average
