Correlation of Amounts of Transplutonium Nuclides with Burnup in the JPDR-I Spent Fuel |
|
| Abstract: | The amounts of 241Am, 242Cm and 244Cm were determined by means of a radiochemical technique in several specimens taken from the spent fuel of the JPDR-I. The yields of the transplutonium nuclides were examined in connection with the burnup determined by a conventional method. It was found that the burnup correlates well with the yield ratios of various transplutonium nuclides. |
