Experimental Investigation of the Neutron Field in an Accelerator Driven Subcritical Reactor
Zeman, Miroslav ; Janda,, Jiří (referee) ; Chudoba,, Petr (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
This dissertation focuses on irradiations of a spallation set-up consisting of more than half a ton of natural uranium that were executed by a 660 MeV proton beam at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Reserch in Dubna. Two types of irradiations were arranged: with and without lead shielding. Both types were arranged with threshold activation detectors (Al-27, Mn-55, Co-59, and In-nat) located throughout the whole set-up both in horizontal and vertical positions and activated by secondary neutrons produced by spallation reaction. The threshold activation detectors were analysed by the method of gamma-ray spectroscopy. Radionuclides found in the threshold detectors were analysed and reaction rates were determined for each radionuclide. Ratios of the reaction rates were determined from irradiation of the set-up with and without lead shielding. Subsequently, the neutron spectra generated inside the spallation target at different positions were calculated using Co-59 detector. The experimental results were compared with Monte Carlo simulations performed using MCNPX 2.7.0.

Transmutation of spent nuclear fuel with using accelerator driven systems
Máca, Pavel ; Král, Dušan (referee) ; Zeman, Miroslav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the analysis of neutron spectra in the reactors with liquid salts. The teoretical part contains a brief description of the nuclear fuel cycles. In the theoretical are further described the reactors of IV. generations. Here are the reactors on the basis of liquid salts described in detail. The practical part of the bachelor thesis is focused on the analysis of neutron spectra in set-ups performer from solid salt. Concretly, the salts NaCl and KCl were analysed by means of the computational codes TALYS and MCNP.
