Nuclear Data Production Facilty of KIGAM

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Nuclear data production project as one of the nation-wide nuclear R&D programs was launched by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) in 2000. We wanted to construct an infrastructure for nuclear data production with a high reliability. So KIGAM designed and fabricated a proton beam pulsing and bunching system to remove the signal of the delayed gamma-ray electronically and to allow the neutron energy to be defined. A TOF system was also constructed to measure neutron cross section on a natural sample of Y at the energy range from 0.7 MeV to 1.2 MeV. The repetition time and the beam width of the proton pulsed beam were obtained to be 125ns and about 2 ns, respectively. The neutron total cross section of ^(89)Y which was measured by this facility was compared with that of ENDF. In this report, an overview of the facility with its current status and prospects for the future will be presented.
