N2 - The Technical Research Centre of Finland (Valtion
Teknillinen Tutkimuskeskus, or VTT has constructed an
advanced epithermalneutron beam facility for use in BNCT
research. This facility is located at the TRIGA research
reactor FiRl in Otaniemi, near Helsinki, and was brought
into initial fullpower operation in April, 1996. As part
of a longstanding and very productive BNCT collaboration
that has existed between VTT and the INEEL, the INEEL was
invited to participate in the first experimental
characterization of the neutron output produced by this
important new facility. This report summarizes the
results of a series of collaborative measurements and
computations performed by the INEEL/VTT team in
connection with this effort, which began in May, 1996
with an onsite experimental campaign, followed by data
reduction efforts extending through the end of 1996. It
may be noted that, in addition to the work reported here,
the VTT team performed some independent spectral
characterization measurements during the same time
period. These are reported separately. In addition, a
team from the Nuclear Research institute of the Czech
Republic also performed some beam measurements during the
same time period. Figure 3 shows the Finnish, American,
and Czech participants in the overall international FiRl
beam characterization effort.
