NEA irradiation system ready to deploy at MITR
A new irradiation experimental system is ready for deployment. The rig, which is the focus of In-Core Real-Time Mechanical Testing of Structural Materials (INCREASE-I), an OECD Nuclear Energy Agency project, will be used to conduct stress-relaxation tests of stainless steel at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Reactor (MITR), according to the OECD NEA.

A new type of fast neutron spectrometer composed of a proportional counter with methane and a Si semiconductor detector was constructed for the measurement of plasma-temperature. Methane can act as recoil-proton converter and also as energy loss measurement of the proton in the converter. Si detector, off-centered to avoid radiation damage, measures the rest energy of the recoil-proton. The energy resolutions were 2.4 % for 5 MeV neutrons and 2.9 % for 14 MeV neutrons.
