Delayed neutron emission from mass-separated fission products
- Iowa State Univ., Ames, IA (United States)
Thesis. Delayed neutron characteristics of six fission product nuclides were determined using a mass separator operated on-line with a nuclear reactor. Beta-decay half-lives were- measured using neutron multiscaling techniques for the precursors 88Br, 89Br, 98Kr, 93Kr, 137I, and 138I. The observed half-lives were 16.52 plus or minus .17 seconds, respectively.. Energy spectra were measured for delayed neutrons emitted in the beta-decays of 17N, 137I, 93Kr , and 93Rb. The spectra of neutron emissions in the mass 93 parentdaughter decay chain were observed using a moving tape collector to effect isobaric separation. Two different types of 3He- filled neutron spectrometer were used to determine the spectra; a proportional counter with risetime discrimination electronics, and a high resolution ionization chamber. The measured delayed, neutron spectra using both detector types are presented, and the results compared, where possible, with other reported measurements.
