Abstract

In-Hospital Neutron Irradiator(IHNI) is the first miniature neutron source reactor for special medical treatment purpose.It got critical on December 7th,2009,and went to full power on January 22th,2010.Parameters,such as the neutron flux density and neutron spectrum of the thermal neutron beam in IHNI,should be given before the medical treatment.Model was built and calculation results were given by MCNP program.The neutron flux density was measured by gold foil activation technique,and the neutron spectrum was measured by multiple foils activation technique and unfolded by SAND-Ⅱ program.Detectors were irradiated and then measured by HPGe.Neutron flux density and distribution was given,and neutron spectrum was unfolded with SAND-Ⅱ program.
