Original Abstract

The experimental channels of nuclear reactors often serve for nuclear data and calculation code validation. The neutron multifoil activation method was used to measure neutron field parameters in the horizontal radial channel of the training reactor VR-1, and to test the possibility of using the reactor for scientific purposes. The reaction rates and energy spectral indexes both lengthwise and crosswise of the experimental channel were determined. Consequently, a proposal for building an experimental equipment for irradiation experiments on radial channel was prepared. The equipment is proposed for very sensitive measurements of a large number of various materials in well-defined neutron spectra. The experimental results show the feasibility of the radial channel for irradiating experiments and open new possibilities for data validation by using this nuclear facility.
