GAMMA SPECTRA OF GROSS FISSION PRODUCTS FROM THERMAL REACTORS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4285075
Calculations of gamma spectra from products of thermal fission of U/sup 235/ are presented. The fission yield values and decay data used are taken from literature published up to April 1958. The calculations cover seven different irradiation times from one day to two years and continuous cooling times from one day to 1000 years. The gamma activities were grouped in 0.2-Mev intervals. The composition of the fission product mixture is somewhat dependent on the absolute neutron flux in the reactor. This matter is discussed. The results are presented as a diagram for each irradiation time, showing the decay of the different energy groups with cooling time. (auth)
