Abstract

The knowledge of the thorium (232Th) cycle potentialities are required for the design of a fusion-fission (hybrid) reactor. Pre-equilibrium nuclear reactions have been used to investigate the effect of initial exciton numbers on the nucleon emission spectra. In this study, the initial exciton numbers for the target nucleus of 232Th were calculated through a method of offered by Tel et al. and then were used to obtain the effect cross section of the neutron emission spectra. Using this new method, a different way from the literature, the initial exciton numbers calculated with the theoretical neutron and proton densities have been obtained with SKM* on the 232Th(n,xn) reaction at 14.1 and 18.0 MeV incident neutron energies. The results were analyzed by comparing the empirical results in the literature.
