RADIOISOTOPIC INVESTIGATION OF OMR COOLANTS. PART I. OMRE OPERATION, JANUARY 1958-AUGUST 1960
Over 30 radioisotopes were identified in the coolant of the OMRE during the period from January, l958 through August, l960. The principal gamma-emitting isotopes measured were the corrosion products: Mn/sup 56/, Fe/sup 59/ and Mn/sup 54/ the principal beta emitters were: P/sup 32/, H/sup 3/,S/sup 35/, Fe/sup 55/, and C/sup 14/. The total (gamma plus beta) activity of the coolant during normal reactor operations was estimated to have been less than l.08 mu c/gm of coolant, with Mn/sup 56/ contributing approximately 80% of the detected process radiation.
