Abstract
Safety measures play an important role in ensuring any system, although nuclear systems always require more safeguards than necessary. From this principle comes the importance of this research, which aims to conduct a study of neutron simulations and modelling to ensure safe installation of PGAA devices in the NB1 channel from the TRIGA Research Reactor at the Maamoura Center for Nuclear Studies. During this study, we used the Monte Carlo method using the MCNP6/X code. This study aims to determine the neutron profile, neutron distribution, and secondary gamma rays produced during the passage of the neutron flux in the collimator channel, sapphire and the vacuum channel that is maintained for the immediate neutron activation analysis (PGAA).
期刊介绍：
Today, nuclear reactors generate nearly one quarter of the electricity in nations representing two thirds of humanity, and other nuclear applications are integral to many aspects of the world economy. Nuclear fission remains an important option for meeting energy requirements and maintaining a balanced worldwide energy policy; with major countries expanding nuclear energy"s role and new countries poised to introduce it, the key issue is not whether the use of nuclear technology will grow worldwide, even if public opinion concerning safety, the economics of nuclear power, and waste disposal issues adversely affect the general acceptance of nuclear power, but whether it will grow fast enough to make a decisive contribution to the global imperative of sustainable development.
