Abstract:The 235U/238U ratio is determined by neutron activation analysis counting the y-rays of short half-lives fission products and 239U. The effect of the neutron spectrum hardening using a 6LiD converter is also demonstrated. The 235U/23~U ratio is determined using short irradiation, waiting and counting times.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
