DISCUSSION OF AN ACTIVATION METHOD FOR MEASURING THE RATIO OF U$sup 238$ ABSORPTION TO U$sup 235$ FISSION IN A REACTOR

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4772732· OSTI ID:4772732
The theory is presented in detail of an activation method for measuring the ratio of U/sup 238/ absorptions to U/sup 235/ fissions in a nuclear reactor. The origin of the activities is discussed, the equations are given for interpretation of the measurements, and the expected counting rates are computed for a typical experiment in the EGCR. (auth)
