Radioactive cobalt and manganese in Discoverer 17 stainless steel
Journal Article

· J. Geophys. Research
Co57 has been measured in the same stainless steel sample in which Fireman, DeFelice, and Tilles have found large amounts of tritium. The amount of Co57 produced in the steel was a factor of 23 less than that expected from in situ production of the tritium by alpha-stripping processes. Upper limits on the activities of Co58, Co80, and Mn54 have been established. Rough upper limits on the proton flux at the stainless-steel battery case are estimated from these values, and the results are compared with the proton flux necessary to produce Co57 by interactions with the Ni58 in the steel.
