Abstract

Introducción El diseño, construcción y uso de irradiadores de neutrones térmicos son cada vez más comunes. Estos dispositivos se pueden utilizar para una amplia gama de aplicaciones. Esta tecnología ha sido impulsada en los últimos años, presentando un gran desarrollo para los próximos años, por lo que los códigos en desarrollo deben validarse para estas instalaciones. Además, estas instalaciones son similares a los dispositivos de almacenamiento de fuentes de neutrones (como las fuentes de los contenedores). En este trabajo se seleccionaron escenarios que cumplen con los requisitos de instalaciones con campos de neutrones termalizados para la validación del código SpecUnPy.
