Abstract Far si~ulating radiation damage of fusion reactors with high energetic neutrons the knowledge of neutron cross-sections has to be improved especially above 20 Mev. In this energy region, the energy >nuclear cascade reactions. Around the fusion peak at 15 Mev about thirty percent of the damage energy in iron are transferred by cascade reactions with a large (n,2n)- contribution. Above 20 MeV the damage energy by cascade reactions dominates. For neutron cascade reactions in iron the energy transfer has been determined for each type of cascade reaction separately. Using the evaporation model the energy spectra of the heavy recoil atoms as well as that of the smaller emitted particles were calculated with a Monte Carlo procedure. The cascade code SPALL-S developed at IKE, University of Stuttgart has been used and compared with available neutron and charged particle emission spectra data up to 20 MeV. The satisfying agreements obtained allowed us to extend the code up to 40 M~ including energy transfer data of neutron reactions in iron such as kerma factor, damage energy cross-section, and displacement cross-section have been e~aluated in several neutron envi~on~ents and corpared |
