Xenon Tables
- Du Pont de Nemours (E.I.) and Co., Aiken, SC (United States). Savannah River Lab.
Tables are presented that may be used to estimate the reactivity transients resulting from xenon poisoning in any thermal reactor that employs U-235 as the principal fissionable material. The Xe-135 concentration is given as a function of time in units of Xenon absorptions per fission neutron. For enriched reactors, these units approximate closely the reactivity held in xenon. The thermal flux is expressed in units of megawatts from thermal fissions per kg of U-235. Table entries are spaced at flux increments of 0.005, 0.01, and 0.02 in the flux ranges 0 to 1.0, 1.0 to 3.0, and 3.0 to 10.0, respectively.
