Determination of neutron flux parameters in PUSPATI TRIGA Mark II Research Reactor, Malaysia

In standardization NAA, it is necessary to characterize the neutron spectrum parameters such as epithermal neutron flux shape factor (a), thermal to epithermal neutron flux ratio (f), thermal neutron flux (uth) and epithermal neutron flux (uepi) in the irradiation facility to determine the conc...
