EARLY TIME DECAY OF FISSION PRODUCT MIXTURES. IV. GAMMA IONIZATION CHAMBER MEASUREMENTS FOLLOWING THERMAL NEUTRON FISSION OF Pu$sup 23$$sup 9$

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4816404
Gamma ionization chamber readings are given for the products of thermal neutron fission of Pu/sup 239/ for the period from 1 second to about 22 hours following fission. Using spectral data on U/sup 235/ fission products and ionization chamber efficiency with gamma energy, the energy release rate of Pu/ sup 239/ fission products was determined as a function of time. The results were conmpared with those attained for U/sup 235/ fission products. (auth)
