SIMULATION OF THE EFFECT OF BURNUP OF MATERIALS OF AN IONIZATION-CHAMBER RADIATOR BY THE MONTE CARLO METHOD

Using the Monte Carlo method, the authors have modeled the burnup of fi ssionable material of the radiator of an ionization chamber in a neutron fl ux. A study has been made of the change in the sensitivity of the ionization chamber with time because of the burnup of fi ssionable material of the radiator for low- and high-intensity neutron fl uxes having different energies.
