Thermodynamic properties of a high pressure subcritical UF/sub 6/He gas volume (irradiated by an external source)

OSTI ID:7317008
A computer simulation study concerning a compressed fissioning UF/sub 6/ gas is presented. The compression is to be achieved by a ballistic piston compressor. Data on UF/sub 6/ obtained with this compressor were incorporated in the simulation study. As a neutron source to create the fission events in the compressed gas, a fast burst reactor was considered. The conclusion is that it takes a neutron flux in excess of 10/sup 15/ n/cm/sup 2/-s to produce measurable increases in pressure and temperature, while a flux in excess of 10/sup 19/ n/cm/sup 2/-s would probably damage the compressor.
