The total neutron production from the alpha induced reaction on natural Zirconium
Abstract
A significant amount of alpha particles, upto 35 MeV are produced in the reactor environment. Alpha induced reaction on natural Zirconium, a reactor component, upto 40 MeV has been measured using stacked foil activation technique. The total neutron production cross section from all possible channels for α energies upto 35 MeV is also estimated using TALYS 1.96. The isomeric cross section ratio for the production of the radionuclide 95Nb has been measured and reported for the first time.
