Evaluation of reduced silver content relative to the activation products in remaining R- and P-reactor structures

Abstract: An analytic model and calculational methodology have been established previously to quantify the radioisotopes present in the Savannah River Site (SRS) P-reactor and R-reactor tanks and in the structural materials surrounding those tanks. These radioisotopes are the result of neutron activation of the materials during reactor operation. The analysis results were based upon a specific set of input assumptions for the elemental composition of the materials of construction. Based upon the results of that analysis… Show more

“…An analysis has been completed to evaluate the effect of silver content in stainless steel relative to the analysis of R-and P-reactor radioisotopic inventory reported previously. 1 Those calculations use a value of 75 ppm for the silver content of the stainless steel. That value for silver content is now believed to be considerably higher than the actual silver content of the stainless steel of construction.…”
