Distribution of fission products in an LMFBR: summary
Conference
·
OSTI ID:5573854
The overall distribution of fission products released from experimental subassemblies containing breached fuel elements has been determined in the fuel and throughout the EBR-II primary and secondary reactor systems. Identification of the fission products released to the primary sodium and location of areas of concentration was important in anticipating radioactive species and levels of deposited fission and activation products on components removed from the primary tank for maintenance and repair. The results of extensive radioanalytical measurements on the fuel, fuel cladding, primary sodium and cover gas system, secondary sodium and cover gas system and steam system are summarized.
