18 C ONCLUSIONS : 1. Uranium fission rate decreases fast in radial distribution. The reasons are: - -QUINTA is deep subcritical assembly; - - Neutrons generated in interaction between incident deuterons and assembly material loose the energy rapidly due to collisions with uranium nuclei (Even one collision is enough the energy be less than fission threshold (1.4 МэВ)) 2. Total fission number of nat U, calculated per a deuteron and per 1 GeV energy of the deuteron, was compared with results of RunMarch-2011, RunDecember -2011, RunMarch -2012 and RunDecember -2012. It does not depend on the primal energy of the deuteron beam. 3. Results of fission rates nat U measurements at the assembly outside will be used for neutron leakage calculation. 18 The XII-th International School-Seminar "The Actual Problems of Microworld Physics" Gomel, Belarus, July 22 - August 2, 2013

21 Multification factor = number of fission*200 MeV (fission energy) / energy brought by incident beam+1 mf for QUINTA ≈ 3 We have to stick to the plan. And for sudden ideas we use foils which were left. 21 The XII-th International School-Seminar "The Actual Problems of Microworld Physics" Gomel, Belarus, July 22 - August 2, 2013

22 Empty area (0<R<4 см и 0<Z<11.5 см )is corresponding to missing uranium rods in cental part of first section. Empty area is corresponding to missing fissile material (clearance between rods and sections). [Each section is composed of uranium rods arranged in the form of hexagonal (triangular) lattice with pitch size of 3.6 cm (aluminium covering – 0.12 cm)] 22 The XII-th International School-Seminar "The Actual Problems of Microworld Physics" Gomel, Belarus, July 22 - August 2, 2013

23 I RREGULARITY OF FISSION MATERIAL IN QUINTA Calculation procedure: - Neutron field is symmetrical with respect to principal axis. - Accounting of geometry fissile material spatial arrangement.
