AXIAL AND RADIAL DISTRIBUTION OF URANIUM AND PLUTONIUM ISOTOPES IN NRX ROD 45

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4778260
Chemical and mass spectrometric measurements were made of Plutonium/Uranium (Pu/U) ratio, U/sup 235/ depletion, and Pu isotopic composition at six axial positions in NRX Rod 45, corresponding to irradiation levels from 1300 to 6200 megawatt days/tonne of uranium (MWD/T). In addition, similar measurements were made of the radial variation of Pu/U ratio, U/sup 235/ depletion, U/sup 236/ production, and Pu isotopic composition at two axial positions in NRX Rod 45, corresponding to irradiation levels of 4750 and 6200 MWD/T.
