Title: Spallation products in the Accelerator Production of Tritium device

Conference ·
OSTI ID:634120

When the 1,700 MeV protons strike the materials of the Accelerator Production of Tritium target, hundreds of different kinds of isotopes (spallation products) of varying energies are produced. Because the spallation products are born with kinetic energy, they can be born in one material and be deposited in another. In this paper, the authors present their estimates of the spallation product contamination of the {sup 3}He gas and heavy-water coolant streams.
