End of Year Report for ICF Related Activities on J14C
There were two main activities related to Radchem at NIF for FY ’18: Reaction-In-Flight (RIF) neutron measurements and a Bromine-doped Capsule dedicated experiment. The RIF measurements were performed by neutron activation of Thulium and Bismuth foils, held at 50 cm from Target Chamber Center (TCC), in the Neutron Activation Detectors (NADs) attached to one or more Diagnostic Instrument Man ipulators (DIMs). The Bromine-doped capsule experiment, which was to be a follow-on shot to one performed in Q4 of FY ’17, was not shot during this FY.
