Calculation of the composition of reactor-irradiated heavy nuclides
- Phillips Petroleum Co., Idaho Falls, ID (United States)
Calculations were made of the compositions of reactorIrradiated Th230. Th232, U233, U235, U236, U238, Pu239, Pu242, and Cm244. Pile fluxes with resonance flux per 1n E interval equal to 1/12 (typical of MTR fuel) or 1/30 (typical of MTR beryllium pieces) of the thermal flux were used for the calculations; thermal fluxes of 5 x 1013, 2 x 1014, and 1 x 1013ncm2 sec were assumed. Calculation methods, assumptions concerning cross sections, and possible methods of producing specific nuclides are discussed.
