Abstract
In order to monitor the radiation effects of advanced fuel element cladding materials, it is necessary to install irradiation supervision tanks in the reactor, which contain kinds of detector foils. And then the detector foils are used to determine the neutron energy spectrum and neutron flux, so as to evaluate the radiation damage of the material. Taking China Experimental Fast Reactor (CEFR) as the research object, seven neutron detector foils were selected and five supervision schemes were designed in 316 stainless steel. The size of the neutron detector, the irradiation time and the corresponding relationship with the radiation damage are calculated by the Monte Carlo code and SPECTER program, and finally the sound monitoring scheme is given. It has guiding significance for irradiation experiments of structural materials, and provides a basis for monitoring the irradiation damage of large commercial fast reactor structures.
