A python code was developed to compute the alpha knock-on (AKN) neutron spectrum using two already available computational tools. The code was used to calculate the AKN for a given discharge from the DTE2 JET campaign. Results showed that the beam-target contribution dominated the neutron spectra and obscured the AKN tail. A spatial profile of the AKN intensity was created which showed that the majority of the AKN reactions happen in the center of the plasma, but further analysis is needed to get a better picture of whether the AKN component will be measurable or not.
