TRIUMF task force report 2008

The above report suggests that

1.) you get about [math]10^{12} \frac{neutrons}{s \cdot kW}[/math] when a 30 MeV electron beam hits a converter like Tungsten producing photons which hit a 5 cm thick Moly target.

2.) The [math]^{100}Mo(\gamma, f)[/math] X-sect peaks at 160 mbarns when the photon energy is 15 MeV:(photofission of Mo-100 and U-238 have similar X-sections)

3.) [math]^{100}Mo(\gamma, n)[/math] X-sect is about 96 mbarns when phtoton energy is 15 MeV
