XENON POISONING IN THE LIQUID METAL FUELLED REACTOR AND HOMOGENEOUS AQUEOUS REACTOR
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4382006
The inert gases krypton and xenon are produced from uranium fission. Of particular interest is xenon 135 which results from beta decay of iodine 134. This xenon isotope has a particularly high capture cross-section to thermal neutrons and can produce appreciable poisoning within the reactor core. This note examines the magnitude of the effect.
