Information on the composition of an LMFBR core by element has been collected on the basis of published design data and ORIGEN calculations. The mass quantities of structural materials, actinides, and fission products are in the ratio of 1:1.4:0.1 with actinides, particularly plutonium and neptunium, representing the major inhalation and ingestion hazard. Some of the fission products are present in quantities large enough to suggest that they warrant specific attention in source term analysis.
