NEUTRON-DOSIMETRIC SUPPORT OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS PROPERTIES RESEARCH EXPERIMENTS IN REACTOR CONDITIONS

JSC "SSC RIAR" has accumulated a rich experience in the neutron-dosimetric support and neutron fields spectrometry using the activation method. Through the efforts of a specialists group, this direction continues to evolve, with advanced developments and modern high-precision equipment. The development of unified standards, computational and experimental methods of neutron-dosimetric support/monitoring to establish a one-to-one accordance between the observed changes in the properties of reactor materials and the conditions of reactor irradiation is topical. The application and distribution of neutron dosimetry using the activation method covers all the research reactors of the institute with all their various experimental conditions. The following examples of the practical neutron activation detectors usage in the following reactor materials science experiments are provided in this article.
