Organization of Experiments on Pulsed Reactors to Seek and Study Nuclear-Pumped Lasers

Virtually all of the experimental investigations to seek and study the characteristics of NPLs excited by the products of nuclear reactions were carried out on pulsed nuclear reactors. Pulsed nuclear reactors are distinguished for the composition and structure of their core, the duration and fluence of the neutron pulse, the volume and configuration of the space for the irradiation, and the pulse repetition frequency. Some aspects of the use of pulsed reactors for laser pumping were examined in the survey [1]. This section uses some of the data from study [1], supplemented by information from other sources.
