| Sumari: | The successful development of advanced nuclear systems for sustainable energy production and
nuclear waste management depends on high quality nuclear data libraries. Recent sensitivity stud-
ies and reports [1-3] have identified the need for substantially improving the accuracy of neutron
cross-section data for minor actinides. The n TOF collaboration has initiated an ambitious exper-
imental program for the measurement of neutron capture cross sections of minor actinides. Two
experimental setups have been constructed for this purpose: a Total Absorption Calorimeter (TAC)
[4] for measuring neutron capture cross-sections of low-mass and/or radioactive samples and a set
of two low neutron sensitivity C6D6 detectors for the less radioactive materials. |
