Identification of Volatile Reactor Fuel Decomposition Products by Spectral Analysis.
Abstract
The volatile radioactive species produced by irradiation of AGN - 201 Reactor fuel elements were obtained by irradiation of the fuel in an evacuated inert container. Eleven constituent nuclides, including two radioactive daughters, were identified by gamma ray spectrometry. Additionally, the possible presence of eight other species was indicated. The spectra studied were taken with a NaI (Th) crystal and they contained 34 photopeaks. An automated computerized method for half life analysis of complex photopeaks is described. (Author)
