CALIBRATION OF LUTETIUM FOR MEASUREMENTS OF EFFECTIVE NEUTRON TEMPERATURES

Journal Article · · Nuclear Sci. and Eng.
OSTI ID:4164792

Experiments were conducted to determine the feasibility of using the ratio of activity of Lu/sup 177/ to that of Lu/sup 176m/ to measure effective neutron temperature. The experimental results include the half life of each activity, cadmium ratios for each isotope, and the ratio of the two activities for various neutron temperatures. The half lives were measured as 6.74 plus or minus 0.04 days and 3.69 plus or minus 0.04 hr for Lu/sup 177/ and Lu/sup 176m/ , respectively. (W.L.H.)
