The input data of the exercise consisted of good quality input information. The emphasis of the exercise was concentrated on the characterization of radiation damage for reactor pressure vessels and related nuclear technology. Twelve different laboratories participated in the exercise. The evaluation of the results of the exercise led to a number of observations and suggestions for improvement of neutron metrology procedures. Keywords: neutron spectra, spectra unfolding, cross sections, activation detectors, threshold detectors, neutron fluence, damaging neutron fluence, steels, neutron metrology, physical radiation effects, comparative evaluations, neutron dosimetry Paper ID: STP10101S Committee/Subcommittee: E10.08 DOI: 10.1520/STP10101S ASTM International is a member of CrossRef. | ||
