Abstract
Neutronics experiments are important parts of neutronics research for nuclear systems. Neutronics experimental facilities contain accelerator-based neutron sources and nuclear systems. Neutronics experiments include nuclear data measurement and validation, validation of methods and software, validation of reactor core physics design of nuclear systems, etc. To carry out various types of neutronics experiments, it is necessary to build neutronics experimental facilities and develop neutron control and measurement technologies.
