Optimal Neutron Spectrum Database for In‐reactor 238Pu Production by Qingquan Pan, Xiaojing Liu, Yun Cai

“…Optimizing the neutron spectrum can improve the production efficiency of 238Pu, but currently, it is still a lack of knowledge about the optimal neutron spectrum for 238Pu production. Genetic algorithms and burnup algorithms are combined to identify optimal neutron spectra for 238Pu production under various irradiation times and flux levels, and build an optimal neutron spectrum database, which answers the questions “What is the optimal neutron spectrum for 238Pu production?” …”
