Neutrons are produced in accelerators by irradiating heavy targets with an electron or proton beam. Produced neutrons are of high energy. The purpose of our work is optimization the neutron flux by MCNP-6 code for production the thermal neutron flux using a moderator and for convertation the fast neutron flux into a thermal neutron flux. In this article, we are interested in a thermal neutron flux due it is useful for method of neutron activation analysis. In conventional sources, the moderator is usually a large volume of water or paraffin around the source. Initially, fast neutrons have energy above 1 …

The production of neutrons can be carried out with the bombardment of the nuclei of heavy atoms, with accelerated and energetic particles (generally electrons). The electron collides with the target nuclei, so, 20 to 30 neutrons are produced by a process called "spallation". Several countries begin to develop neutron sources especially in the United States, Europe and Japan. The development of new measuring instruments and methods has generally increased the demand for neutron utilization in several areas, such as accelerator proton-based, where protons bombard a heavy metal target. The atoms of the target are excited, resulting in neutron emission.
