HOTNES (HOmogeneous Thermal NEutron Source): A new design of thermal neutron irradiation facility
Roberto Bedogni (LNF)
A new design of thermal neutron irradiation facility, called HOTNES (HOmogeneous Thermal NEutron Source), was prototyped within the INFN-LNF / ENEA-Frascati collaboration. HOTNES is a polyethylene assembly, with about 70 cm × 70 cm square section and 100 cm height, including a large, cylindrical cavity with diameter 30 cm and height 70 cm. The facility …

The HOmogeneous Thermal NEutron Source (HOTNES) is a new type of thermal neutron irradiation assembly developed by the ENEA-INFN collaboration. The facility was fully characterized in terms of neutron field and dosimetric quantities, by either computational and experimental methods. The results of the first “HOTNES users program”, carried out in 2016, and covering a variety …
