Abstract	The MEGAPIE project is the megawatt liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) spallation target which has operated successfully as the neutron source of SINQ neutron production facility at Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI). It constitutes the first step in demonstrating the feasibility of Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) using heavy liquid metal target technologies. The experiment has provided unique data for a better understanding of the behavior of the target under realistic irradiation conditions during the 4-month operation. A complex neutron detector, which was inserted inside the LBE target has been extracted in february 2008 along with the metallic activation foils which it contained. These have been analysed and have provided a measure of the total inner neutron flux. This paper aims to present the current developments in this analysis. 1. Introduction. The MEGAPIE project[1] has designed, built and safely operated a lead-bismuth eutectic spallation target in SINQ hall at PSI. It is considered as an essential step towards the development of high power spallation targets with window technologies and a fundamental technological piece for nuclear waste incinerator systems driven by accelerators (ADS). The target successfully underwent a 4 month irradiation that ended in December 2006. During this period it functioned
