Abstract

The present paper presents the measurement of neutron induced activations on concrete using the 64.5 MeV quasimonoenergetic neutrons produced at the intense 7Li(p, n) neutron source at Cyclotron and Radioisotope Center, Tohoku Univeristy (CYRIC). The data were corrected for the effect of continuous neutrons in the source. The neutron energy, neutron yields and the spectrum of continuous neutrons were confirmed with the neutron time-of-flight method and the neutron activation measurement of the 209Bi(n, Xn) reactions having various threshold energy values. The nuclides produced by thermalized source neutrons are negligible. New data were obtained for concrete activation.
