Abstract

The theoretical neutron-production cross-sections produced by 181Ta(3He,xn)184−xRe reactions (x = 1–7) for structural fusion material 181Ta in 3He-induced reactions have been performed in the incident 3He energy range of 14–75 MeV. Reaction cross-sections, based on theoretical pre-equilibrium nuclear reaction models, have been calculated theoretically by means of the TALYS 1.6 two component exciton, EMPIRE 3.1 exciton, ALICE/ASH geometry dependent hybrid (GDH) and ALICE/ASH hybrid models. The neutron-production cross-section results of the models have been compared with the each other and against the experimental nuclear reaction data (EXFOR). Except the 181Ta(3He,2n)182Re and 181Ta(3He,7n)177Re reactions, the ALICE/ASH cross-section calculations show generally agreement with the experimental values for all reactions used in this study. The ALICE/ASH–GDH model can be suggested, if the experimental data are unavailable or are improbably to be produced because of the experimental troubles.
