Volatilization of nuclear reaction products from molten metallic targets; Verfluechtigung von Kernreaktionsprodukten aus geschmolzenen Metalltargets

Abstract

The differential molar enthalpies of volatilization of all metallic elements (microcomponents) from 38 molten metals are presented. The calculations are based on the MIEDEMA-model. The differential molar enthalpies of volatilization of the microcomponents are found as a periodic function of their atomic number. The predicted behaviour of volatile products are compared with the results of radiochemical experiments. Particularly the problems of volatilization of spallation products from molten Pb- or Bi-targets in Spallation Neutron Sources are discussed. Getter metals are proposed to reduce the volatility of Hg and Po from this target melts. (author) 41 figs., 2 tabs., 41 refs.
