First results of the 241Am(n,f) cross section measurement at the Experimental Area 2 of the n_TOF facility at CERN

Eleme, Z. Patronis, N. Stamatopoulos, A.

Feasibility, design and sensitivity studies on innovative nuclear reactors that could address the issue of nuclear waste transmutation using fuels enriched in minor actinides, require high accuracy cross section data for a variety of neutron-induced reactions from thermal energies to several tens of MeV. The isotope 241Am (T1/2= 433 years) is...

First results of the 230Th(n,f) cross section measurements at the CERN n_TOF facility

Michalopoulou, V. Stamatopoulos, A. Vlastou, R.

The study of neutron-induced reactions on actinides is of considerable importance for the design of advanced nuclear systems and alternative fuel cycles. Specifically, 230Th is produced from the α-decay of 234U as a byproduct of the 232Th/233U fuel cycle, thus the accurate knowledge of its fission cross section is strongly required. However,...
