PREDICTED SLURRY ACTIVATION IN HRE-3

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4310490· OSTI ID:4310490
The gamma and beta activity of the proposed HRE-3 slurry for blanket operation at 10 Mw has been estimated. The sources of activity were found to be fission-product decay and Pa/sup 233/ decay. The estimated gamma activity of the slurry is plotted, showing the Pa/sup 233/ gammas, four energy groups of fission products, and the total gamma activity for a nearly infinite irradiation time. For the same conditions, the estimated beta activity of the slurry is plotted, showing the Pa/sup 233/ betas, the fission product decay betas, and the total beta activity. (auth)
