Methods for the Determination of Burn-up; METODI PER LA DETERMINAZIONE DEL BURN-UP

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4107019
Five methods are described for determining fissionable material burn-up in irradrated fuel. Theoretical assumptions, experimental difficulties, applicability to various irradiation programs and accuracy are discussed. To remove the ambiguity in burn-up definition and analytical procedures, the iission density and radiochemical analysis of Cs/sup 137/ are recommended, respectively. (auth)
