Exposure rate response analysis of criticality accident detector at Savannah River Site

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This analysis investigated the exposure response behavior of gamma-ray ionization chambers used in the criticality accident systems at the Savannah River Site (SRS). The project consisted of performing exposure response measurements with a calibrated 137Cs source for benchmarking of the MCNP Monte Carlo code. MCNP was then used to extrapolate the ion chamber's response to gamma-rays with energies outside the current domain of measured data for criticality fission sources.
