Abstract

In connection with the IAEA-neutron seed irradiation Programme, a standard neutron irradiation facility has been constructed. The application of solid state track recorders for fast neutron spectra measurements inside this facility is discussed. Fissionable targets of ²³⁵U, ²³⁹Pu, ²³⁷Np, ²³⁸W and ²³²Th will be used, an approximative solution for the incident neutron spectrum will be obtained by a five-group method.
