RESULTS OBTAINED USING AN IBM 704 PROGRAM FOR COMPUTING U$sup 235$ FISSION- PRODUCT POPULATIONS, ACTIVITIES AND POWERS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4208286
The theory, flow diagrams, decay chain assignments, and operating instructions for an IBM 704 Program for calculating the fission product inventories for U/sup 235/ fueled reactors are presented. Comparisons of U/sup 235/ fission product decay power and activity between this program and the Way- Wigner equation for cyclic operation are made for a number of cyclic reactor histories. A graph is presented showing the ratio of the gamma power irom each of four arbitrarily chosen energy ranges to the total gamma power as a function of time aiter 10/sup 23/ fissions. The ratio of fission-product beta power to gamma power for several histories is also graphically presented. Gross fission product properties and the individual isotopic activities after twenty-one cycles are listed. (auth)
