June 2019 Depleted Uranium Irradiation
Abstract
Three different irradiations were performed at the Annular Core Research Reactor (ACRR) at Sandia National laboratory on June 4-6, 2019. Each target assembly included two or three depleted uranium targets, as well as a bismuth target and dosimetry packets. In July 2019, the target assemblies were received at TA-48 RC-1, unpackaged, and radiochemical analyses were performed. The analyses included autoradiography and gamma counting of the whole depleted uranium targets, gamma counting of the activation foils, and dissolution of six of the depleted uranium targets, followed by separated radiochemical analysis for a suite of fission products. This report describes the details of the radiochemical analysis and provides final results for the fission and activation product concentrations.
