Analytic and experimental decay heat determinations of 800-MeV proton irradiated aluminum
Postirradiation radiochemistry analysis of 800-MeV proton irradiated ultrahigh purity aluminum has been done with standard gamma-ray counting equipment determining the Na/sup 22/ activity in the activated aluminum. Results are compared to predicted values obtained from CINDER, a general nuclide depletion and fission-product code. This program can be used easily to calculate the activity of materials under arbitrary irradiation, provided that the source terms for the various radionuclides produced are known. The required production cross sections have been calculated by using the nucleon-meson transport code NMTC to determine the nuclear reactions produced by the protons, and the theory of Lindhard et al. to evaluate the resultant damage energy deposited in the target.
