AN APPARATUS FOR THE STUDY OF SHORT-LIVED FISSION PRODUCT RARE GASES

Journal Article · · Canadian Journal of Chemistry (Canada)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1139/v62-242· OSTI ID:4789811
A procedure is described for the isolation, separation, and study of short-lived krypton and xenon isotopes formed by thermal fission of uranium. The gases are swept out from a thin film of U/sup 235/ stearate, rapidly separated by gas chromatography, and examined by gamma-spectrometric techniques. Krypton isotopes have been studied within 10 seconds of their formation in the reactor and xenon isotopes within 25 seconds. Spectra are reported for krypton-88 and - 90, xenon-137, -138, and = 139.
