摘要

The assay of Pu bearing nuclear materials by the neutron coincidence counting technique is often undertaken assuming that the ratio,Alpha,of(α,n)to(SF,n)production in the item is well known.If this is not the case then a bias can result.As the Alpha value increases the precision and accuracy can be seriously compromised and complementary measurement techniques may be needed to lend added confidence in the assay.The presence of relatively low concentrations of low atomic number impurities in product materials such as metals and oxides are well known to significantly enhance(α,n)production rates.The associated production of characteristicγ- rays has been used to identify such situations[1].The potential application to waste assay measurements has been recognized[2]but limited validated production data exists in the literature. rnIn this paper we report the measurement of the production rate of the characteristic gamma rays for Li,Be,B,C and F relative to the production rate of neutrons resulting from α-particle reactions in sealed sources.The experimental work was an evolution of the approach set out previously[3].In the case of the Li,Be,B and F sources, ~241 Am was used as the alpha emitter. Two Li and six Be sources were studied.In addition a source containing anhydrous PuF_3 was investigated.The C source used ~238 Pu oxide mixed with graphite powder enriched in ~13C. Multiple measurements,for the same target element,were taken to allow the variation due to fabrication and form to be assessed empirically.The yield per alpha was also extracted using mass loadings of the alpha emitter derived from the measured high resolution gamma ray spectra where possible or,in the case of the Be sources,from production data.
