Thermal column

scroll

Component part of some research reactors for generation of thermal neutrons for experiments. The column consists of a large moderator accumulation (often graphite) in addition to the core or the reflector of the reactor. Neutrons exiting the reactor enter the thermal column where they decelerated. The proportion of thermal neutrons in the overall neutron spectrum is therefore considerably increased.
