1. 1. Development of a Detector System for Detection of Thermal Neutrons from Spent Nuclear Fuel

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Författare :Daniel Söderström; [2016]
   Nyckelord :neutron detection; neutron; 10B; boron-10; nuclear physics; boron; neutron detector; scintillator; boron carbide; B4C; nuclear fuel; repository; SKB; Physics and Astronomy; Technology and Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : The nuclear reaction 10B(n,alpha)7Li* was utilised to develop a neutron detection system. This system has the purpose of being used to detect the thermal neutron radiation emitted by spent nuclear fuel, before it is transported to a final repository. LÄS MER

3. 2. The Characteristics of B4C Coated Scintillators

   Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Författare :Anton Bodahl; [2016]
   Nyckelord :B4C; Scintillators; Coincidence Measurements; LIBAF; Homogenity Measurements; Physics and Astronomy;

   Sammanfattning : The characteristics of Boron Carbide (B4C) coated polyvinyltoluene scintillators with a sputtered B4C coating ranging between 200 and 1000 nm have been studied using a photomultiplier - Lanthanum Bromide detector setup with a PuBe neutron source. The raw data from the detectors was analysed by imposing a detector coincidence condition. LÄS MER
