METHODS FOR DETERMINING FUEL BURNUP
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4036419
Two standardized definitions for use in reporting of fuel burnup are recommended: fission density and percent fissionable isotope depletion. Experimental methods for determining burnup parameters are summarized and compared. Methods discussed include radiochemical analysis, mass spectrometry, optical spectrometry, and neutron activation. Formulas for determining burnup from activation analysis and from isotopic analysis data were derived. The accuracy of these formulas is discussed. A brief summary is given of analytic methods for determining burnup. (auth)
