Progress report on the experimental investigation of fission product diffusion

Abstract

The authors wish to acknowledge the assistance of the Staff of the Physical Sciences Laboratory, who performed the experimental investigation described in this report. We are also grateful to G. Peterson and his Staff at the Ceramic Fuel Laboratory for their assistance and the use of their facility in the annealing operations. Particular credit is due to S. Cuddy, J. Kauffman, and P. Zupetic, for their work in the numerous radiochemical analyses. Credit is also due to M. Korposh and J. Sunday, who assisted in the calculations associated with these determinations, and to J. Henderson, who was responsible for the irradiation capsule and unit cell assemblies.
