Radiation Characterization Summary: NETL Beam Port 1/5 Free-Field Environment at the 128-inch Core Centerline Adjacent (NETL-FF-BP1/5-128-cca)
This document presents the facility-recommended characterization of the neutron, prompt gamma ray, and delayed gamma ray radiation fields in the University of Texas at Austin Nuclear Engineering Teaching Laboratory (NETL) TRIGA reactor for the beam port 1/5 free-field environment at the 128-inch location adjacent to the core centerline. The designation for this environment is NETL-FF-BP1/5-128-cca. The neutron, prompt gamma ray, and delayed gamma ray energy spectra, uncertainties, and covariance matrices are presented as well as radial and axial neutron and gamma ray fluence profiles within the experiment area of the cavity. Recommended constants are given to facilitate the conversion of various dosimetry readings into radiation metrics desired by experimenters. Representative pulse operations are presented with conversion examples.
