Exposure Rates from Experimentally Fractionated Fission Products,

Abstract

Exposure rates, at three feet above a uniformly contaminated smooth plane, were calculated from recent experimentally measured gamma-ray spectra of fractionated products of thermal-neutron fission of 235U. The fractionation had been carried out by very early removal of the rare gas fission products in a reproducible manner. The exposure rates were obtained at nine selected times (1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 5, 10, 24, 48 and 72 hours) after fission. The photon energy of the gamma-rays released were calculated and are tabulated.
