  5. IEA collaboration in fusion neutronics Contribution of TU Dresden Dose rate measurement Detector: tissue-equivalent scintillator(NE 105), 4.6 cm * 4.6 cm ø. Calibration: air-kerma reference value (W/e = 33.97 V) in standard photon fields (19.9 keV ... 6.7 MeV) at PTB. Measurement: quasi-continuously with integration intervals from 5 min to 3 h.

  11. IEA collaboration in fusion neutronics Contribution of TU Dresden Measured flux of the -rays with E > 0.4 MeV in comparison to the calculations Calculation: rigorous two-step method (U. Fischer), MCNP+FENDL/MC-2.0, FISPACT+FENDL/A-2.0. Uncertainties: total experimental, statistical only of the calculation Workshop, Baden-Baden, 18 October, 2001 K. Seidel, TUD

  12. IEA collaboration in fusion neutronics Contribution of TU Dresden Neutron flux spectrum Vertical cut of the assembly with NE 213 detector Fluence per one source neutron for E > 13.7 MeV, Experiment: (5.91  0.35)·10-5 Calculation: (5.96  0.32)·10-5 ———————————————— C/E = 1.01  0.07 Workshop, Baden-Baden, 18 October, 2001 K. Seidel, TUD

  13. IEA collaboration in fusion neutronics Contribution of TU Dresden Results Gamma dose rates measured in a materials mock-up of the ITER shielding system with an uncertainty of about 4% over a period of three weeks after irradiation of the assembly with 14-MeV neutrons are consistent with the flux spectra of the decay -rays measured in that period. Rigorous two-step calculations with the MCNP code, using FENDL/MC-2.0 data, and with the FISPACT code, using FENDL/A-2.0 data, result in ratios of calculated-to-experimental values of C/E = 0.80 ... 1.08 for both dose rates and -flux, if material composition and irradiation scenario are described in detail. Underestimation of experimental values of 10 ... 20% is observed for the first week of decay, whereas overestimation up to 8% is obtained at the end of the campaign. ITER design calculations for similar assemblies and decay times with the codes and the data libraries, used in this task, have been validated within that uncertainties. Experimental data and calculated results may be used for investigating other (faster, simpler, approximate) calculation schemes. Workshop, Baden-Baden, 18 October, 2001 K. Seidel, TUD
