Abstract:
Molybdenum is a structural metal suitable for harsh neutronic environments with more than 30 isotopes which provide an extensive basis for neutron data production. The 14 MeV neutron induced cross sections are necessary for practical applications such as ADS and fusion reactor technology and for testing nuclear models. Unfortunately there are still discrepancies between the theoretical and experimental values and even between recent measured values and further studies are necessary. The cross sections of fast neutron induced reactions with emission of charged particles have been evaluated. For each process the contribution of compound, direct and pre – equilibrium nuclear reaction mechanism and the corresponding nuclear data (parameters of nuclear potential, density states and other) were extracted.
