MARIA reactor

MARIA reactor Kanał H2

MARIA reactor H2 channel

„Neutron production ” for medical and radiobiological research Core basket Medial channel Filters 235 U-converter Reactor pool Ściana basenu H2 experimental room

235 U conwerter  The source of neutrons – 24 U plates  When expediced to the technological pool it is possible to shuffle and rotate  And to check for leakage  Authonomic cooling system

Medial channel  Positioned between the basket core and concrete shielding  1m long, 25cm of diameter  Nitrogen exchange water inside Nitrogen inlet  Filling/removing time ~90sec Converter side Strona Kanału H2 Zamknięty kanał pośredni – pierwsza bariera dla neutronów

Filters and shutters Shutter: • 5 cm PP Filters: • 3 cm B 4 C • 2 cm B 4 C • 26 cm Pb • 25 cm Pb Pumpuing the water out of the medial channel and turninng shuttera = opening the beam for H2 experiments
