Abstract

The design of in hospital neutron irradiator (IHNI) and its systems were introduced, and the performance and characteristics of IHNI were described. In order to test the inherent safety of IHNI, the experiment of 4.2 mk reactivity release was done. The experimental results showed that the peak power of IHNI was 85.7 kW at the time of 229 s after 4.2 mk reactivity release, and then, the power decreased owing to the negative temperature coefficient of moderator. The radiation dose rates at different rooms were lower than the standard value.
