The Nuclear Reactions Department of the NPI operates neutron sources with neutron energies extending up to 35 MeV. The cyclotron U-120M provides protons in the energy range of 6-36 MeV. These are directed to a thin Li or Be foil (quasi-monoenergetic neutrons) or to a thick Be target (continuous neutron spectrum). The available neutron fluxes are up to 10(9) n/cm(2)/s for quasimonoenergetic neutrons and 10(11) n/cm(2)/s for continuous neutron spectrum.
The produced neutrons are used in a wide scale of activities connected to accelerator driven technologies and fusion. This contribution focuses on cross-section measurement and benchmarks, the measurements of the produced neutron spectra, the development of the (n,cp) chamber and online gamma measurements. The planned extensions of the neutron sources are also mentioned.
