摘要: Abstract In this paper, effect of the spallation target neutronic parameters such as beam profile, proton energy ( E p ), thicknesses and for different materials in an Accelerator Driven Subcritical TRIGA reactor has been investigated. Monte Carlo code MCNPX used to calculate as: neutron yield Y n / spectrum, angular distribution neutrons coming out production spectra region two cases uniform parabolic spatial distributions. According results, relative difference increases by 3.45% using a instead also parameter 7.91% thick thin target, respectively. Moreover, with increasing from 115 MeV up 2 GeV, improves 4813.58%. Additionally, comparison beam, having advantage more homogeneity generated well heat generation target. Also, atomic number energy. Therefore, our results are indicative fact that investigating sensitivity is necessary order optimally design cost-efficient Reactors (ADSRs).
