Fission gas analysis of MOX fuel

  • 1. Fuel Chemistry Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai (India)

Description

As a part of post irradiation studies on mixed oxide (MOX) (U,Pu)O2 fuel, atom ratios of two important gaseous fission products namely krypton and xenon have been determined employing electron impact-quadrupole mass spectrometry (EI-QMS). From the isotopic and the yield ratios of these fission gases, it was possible to conclude that majority of fissions could have occurred in 239Pu. An attempt has also been made to estimate the period of cooling from the measured 85Kr/84Kr atom ratio. (author)
