NDSE Static Series V & VI Test Results
The purpose for the Neutron-Diagnosed Subcritical Experiment (NDSE) Static Test Series at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) Area 11 is to develop and validate the capability to make precise and accurate measurements of k eff for Special Nuclear Material (SNM) targets with k eff ~ 0.95.1 The series has now completed six sets of measurements using the deuterium-tritium (DT) Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) neutron source, with a Rocky-Flats-Shells Highly Enriched Uranium (RF HEU) target, to measure the gamma die-away to this purpose. The last of these series, Series V and VI, are the subject of this report. Both series were performed on a target comprised of the Object IV HEU + CH 2 configuration, which is identical to Object II but with smaller DPF collimators that limit the incident neutron flux to the HEU radius.
