Abstract:
The analog Monte-Carlo code for simulating Rossi-
α method based on Geant4 was developed. The prompt neutron decay constan -α of six metal uranium configurations in Oak Ridge National Laboratory were calculated.-α was also calculated by Burst Neutron method and the result was consistent with the result of Rossi-α method. There is the difference between results of analog Monte-Carlo simulation and experiment, and the reasons for the difference is the gaps between uranium layers. The influence of gaps decrease as the sub-criticality deepens. The relative difference between results of analog Monte-Carlo simulation and experiment changes from 19% to 0.19%.
