Abstract :
A fast neutron irradiation station has been designed at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell. The fluence delivered by this station is less than that of a nuclear reactor, but it is essentially free of slow neutrons and the admixture of gamma rays is small. The station, dosimetry methods, a computer code, verification techniques, and applications are described. The information provided should enable others to construct a similar station on type CN or tandem accelerators
