This book was released on 2006 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A data development project (International Reactor Dosimetry File or IRDF 2002) was initiated in 2001 to create a current, tested and standardised reactor dosimetry cross-section database with associated uncertainty data for use in the service lifetime assessment of nuclear power reactors. This publication describes the selection procedure and contents of the database and includes a CD-ROM containing the full contents of the IRDF-2002 data library. This set of recommended high-quality data is also appropriate for use in other neutron metrology applications, such as boron neutron capture therapy, therapeutic use of radioisotopes, nuclear physics measurements and reactor safety studies.
