Activity Estimations for HSA Co-60 targets for Cycles 168A, 168B, and 169A Memo

S&T Accomplishment Report ·
OSTI ID:1668836

67 HSA cobalt targets have been irradiated in the ATR, starting back on 2/10/15. Individual HSA cobalt targets may have been moved to different positions and irradiated at different times in the ATR. A tool called the Isotope Production and Activation tool (IPA tool) was developed to capture the changes for different irradiation conditions. The IPA tool uses cross section and flux data, cycle history data, and HSA experiment positioning data to estimate a range of specific activities for each of the HSA cobalt targets to generate SCALE/ORIGENS inputs for each target. The IPA tool also post-processes the results for use in tables and figures. The IPA tool derived results that can be independently verified using an acceptable alternative method. The memo contains the specific activity for all 67 HSA cobalt targets.
