Section III (neutron measurements) of the Comite Consultatif des Rayonnements Ionisants, CCRI, conducted a subsequent comparison of primary measurements of the neutron emission rate of an 241Am-Be(n) radionuclide source. The aim of this comparison was to compare primary measurements of the neutron emission rate of an 241Am-Be(?,n) radionuclide source for laboratories who were outliers in the previous comparison (K9.AmBe) or who were unable to participate. Three laboratories participated - LNHB (France), ENEA-INMRI (Italy) and NPL (UK) - with NPL as the pilot institute and the link to the K9.AmBe comparison. Measurements were made in 2016-17. Each laboratory reported the neutron emission rate into 4π sr together with a detailed uncertainty budget. All participants used the manganese bath technique.

Abstract
Section III (neutron measurements) of the Comite Consultatif des Rayonnements Ionisants, CCRI, conducted a subsequent comparison of primary measurements of the neutron emission rate of an 241Am-Be(n) radionuclide source. The aim of this comparison was to compare primary measurements of the neutron emission rate of an 241Am-Be(?,n) radionuclide source for laboratories who were outliers in the previous comparison (K9.AmBe) or who were unable to participate. Three laboratories participated - LNHB (France), ENEA-INMRI (Italy) and NPL (UK) - with NPL as the pilot institute and the link to the K9.AmBe comparison. Measurements were made in 2016-17. Each laboratory reported the neutron emission rate into 4π sr together with a detailed uncertainty budget. All participants used the manganese bath technique.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
