dc.description.abstractThe aim of the project was to measure nuclear reaction cross-sections for selected light elements such as Boron and Carbon for the database at Radiation Utilisation Group of Necsa. Deuteron-fnduced and "He-induced reactions were performed at the 4MV Van de Graaff accelerator at detection angles of 0= 150cand 135° for incident beam energies between 1.8 and 2.8 MeV. Immediate application of this study will help in determining: 1. The Boron contaminants or impurities in the raw material used for the operation of the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor 2. The isotopic composition of boron carbide, which is used as a neutron shielding at the SAFARI-1 research reactor.en_US
