Abstract

A recent study concerning the deviation of the E−(1+α) epithermal neutron flux distribution from the E−1 law, developed by F. DE CORTE et al. is applied to α-determination in different channels of the CRN reactor (Strasbourg). It is found that the coefficient α is positive inside the reactor core and negative outside. The accuracy of the neutron activation analysis using the corrected resonance integral I(α) is tested.
