A REVIEW OF THE RECOIL ACTIVITY PROBLEM IN THE COOLANT OF THE PIQUA OMR
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4226527
New information concernng the recoil range of Mg/sup 27/ from the A1/sup 27/(n,p) reaction was used to correct the magnitude of recoil activity previously calculated as existing in the coolant of the Piqua OMR. The effect of the film, which has been identified and measured on OMRE fuel elements, would be to reduce the importance of the recoil process in organic cooled reactors. Preliminary evaluation of a case at the OMRE for stainless steel clad fuel elements indicates that the measured Co/sup 58/ recoil activity is about 1/15 of that calculated. (W.D.M.)
