Description/Abstract:

FISSIONABLE THIN FILMS OF UO2 WERE IRRADIATED IN VACUUM OPPOSITE THIN C COLLECTOR FILMS. UO2 WAS VAPORIZED BY FISSION FRAGMENT INTERACTION WITH THE SOURCE FILM & DEPOSITED ON COLLECTORS. A 200 A LAYER OF C ON THE SOURCE FILM VIRTUALLY ELIMINATES VAPORIZATION. FISSION FRAGMENT DAMAGE TO C; PT-COATED C, AND AL FOIL COLLECTORS WAS STUDIED.
