Godzilla is helping ITER prepare for tokamak assembly

Many people are familiar with Godzilla as a giant reptilian monster that emerged from the sea off the coast of Japan, the product of radioactive contamination. These days, there is a new Godzilla, but it has a positive—and entirely fact-based—association with nuclear energy. This one has emerged inside the Tokamak Assembly Preparation Building of ITER in southern France.

Measurement of the energy spectra of delayed neutrons for the isotope-separated, fission product precursors 87Br, 88Br, 89Br, 90Br, 137I, 138I, 139I, and 136Te are reported for an energy range up to 1213 keV and with lower cutoff energies of 11.1, 11.1, 29.9, 48.9, 14.2, 23.3, 29.9, and 48.9 keV, respectively. These data were obtained at the TRISTAN Isotope Separation On-Line facility using H2 and CH4 gas-filled proportional counters. The data for each of the bromine, iodine, and tellurium isotopes show good qualitative agreement with the published 3He ionization chamber data at energies above ∼200 keV. In addition, they provide definitive spectral information down to their respective cutoff energies.
