The figure below shows an example of calculated results for axial distributions of fast neutron flux at the core center, as well as of temperatures of coolant and sample inside the irradiation rig in the case of material irradiation. The actual irradiation condition must be specifically determined according to the operation cycle, location in the core, design of irradiation rig, etc.
The actual record of the maximum temperature in material irradiation at Joyo is approximately 750°C. |
