FISSION PRODUCT POISONING FROM THE FAST FISSION OF U-238

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4828912
Published radiochemical measurements of yields from the fast fission of U-238 are reviewed, and a complete set of yields between masses 77 and 161 is recommended for use in fission product poisoning calculations. The pseudofission- product treatment is adopted to simplify presentation and handling of the data. The fission product thermal cross sections and resonance integrals are used with the new yields to obtain pseudo-fission product yields in the fast fission of U- 238 for four epithermal neutron densities. The pseudo-fission product cross sections are 80, 300, and 800 b. (auth)
