Abstract

Introduction. Design, construction, and use of thermal neutron irradiators are each time more common because these devices can be used for a wide range of applications. This technology has been pushed in the last years, presenting a great framework in the next years, so unfolding codes need to be validated for these facilities. Moreover, these facilities are similar to neutron source storage devices (like Howitzer containers). In this work, scenarios that meet the requirements of installations with thermalized neutron fields were selected for the validation of the SpecUnPy code.
