Abstract

A high-intensity pulsed neutron source can be constructed according to the principle of a superbooster, i.e., a neutron multiplying system of the neutron-generating target of the proton accelerator with proton energy of about 1 GeV in the subcritical reactivity modulation system. Usually, superboosters are considered to be safe and reliable nuclear facilities. However, as indicated in this paper, a powerful superbooster may prove to be less stable in operation than a pulsed reactor. Therefore, the problems of its safety call for close study.

关于脉冲中子源超级增压器的稳定性和安全性问题

摘要

可以根据超增压器的原理构造高强度脉冲中子源，即在亚临界反应性调制系统中，质子加速器的中子生成靶的中子倍增系统具有约1 GeV的质子能。通常，超级助推器被认为是安全可靠的核设施。但是，正如本文所指出的那样，强大的超级增压器可能比脉冲反应器在运行中不稳定。因此，其安全性问题亟待研究。
