Russia nowadays creates the technological base to provide a practical solution for the closure of NFC with
fast neutron reactors as the cornerstone of this process.
*
fast neutron reactors called <<fast reactors>>;
Prompt neutrons are born at energy ranges from 0.1 to 10 MeV but the
fast neutron spectrum component is shifted to lower energies due to the elastic and inelastic scattering interactions of
fast neutrons with sodium as well as structural and other materials existing in SFR.
Since then, diamond detectors have been explored for use in extreme environments [7-11], microdosimetry [12, 13], and thermal [10, 14, 15] and
fast neutron sensing [10, 16-20], including deuterium-deuterium (DD) and deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion plasma diagnostics [21, 22].
Several methods are used in the literature for
fast neutron detection.
The calculation of the production yields of Zr (A=90 and 96) target elements by neutron irradiation is selected at 1x[10.sup.9] (n/[cm.sup.2].s)
fast neutron flux [20].
He covers nuclear reaction d + t > alpha + eta, sources of 14 MeV neutrons, detectors, nuclear reactions induced by 14 MeV neutrons, a method for analyzing
fast neutron activation, applications of tagged neutron beams, logging nuclear reactions, and medical applications of 14 MeV neutrons.
Chinese nuclear scientists intend to work with Russian colleagues on the development of
fast neutron reactors, Yu Zusheng, a spokesman for China's State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation (SNPTC) said recently.
At the moment the only one in the world
fast neutron reactor is operated in Russia.
The technology he is investigating is named Pulsed
Fast Neutron Analysis and it has enormous potential.
