Title: Absolute thermal fission yields for /sup 239/Pu. [Isotope dilution, mass spectrometry]

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5812257· OSTI ID:5812257

Absolute /sup 239/Pu thermal fission yields are given for the stable and long-lived isotopes of krypton, rubidium, strontium, zirconium, xenon, cesium, barium, cerium, neodymium, and samarium. The principal measurement technique for the fission product isotopes was isotope dilution mass spectrometry. The number of fissions was established by summing the number of fission product atoms in the heavy mass peak. The propagated standard deviations associated with the bulk of the measured yields range from 1 to 2%, relative. Significant differences between the current data and that previously reported from this laboratory are identified. 14 references.
