Abstract

Abstract

Based on the Miniature Neutron Source Reactor（MNSR） with high enrichment uranium（HEU） fuel and accordance with the requirements of BNCT,the 19.5% of enriched fuel UO₂ fuel core for BNCT with epithermal neutron treatment beam was primary designed,the reactor core parameters such as epithermal neutron flux density,epithermal neutron flux unit of fast neutron dose rate,epithermal neutron flux unit photon dose rate of γ,epithermal neutron flux ratio of thermal neutron flux,neutron spectrum were calculated and analyzed.The results show that the design program was an excellent epithermal neutron treatment beam.
