EARLY TIME DECAY OF FISSION PRODUCT MIXTURES. I. SCINTILLATION COUNTER MEASUREMENTS FOLLOWING THERMAL NEUTRON FISSION OF U$sup 23$$sup 5$

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4201951
Photon decay rates of fission product mixtures from thermal neutron fission of U/sup 235/ were measured for times after fission of one second to several hours with a welltype scintillation detector (counter), These data may be used as a reference base for decay measurements of fallout made with the same or similar instruments. The measured decay values were compared with recently reported experimental determinations of photon decay. This comparison permitted estimates of the numbers of photons (photon release rates) in the photon energy region below 0.3 Mev. (auth)
