Description

The Joint Research Center (JRC) of the Commission of the European Communities (CEC) has carried out for many years destructive post irradiation analysis of samples from BWR and PWR fuel elements. A total of about 120 pellets with a burnup range from 3.5 to 37.5 GWD/MTU have been investigated. The main goal was to create a bank of qualified data on burnup and isotope buildup of spent fuels, to be used in the assessment of some Safeguards techniques. This report presents a summary of the latest results of this activity, together with a discussion and a comparison between measured and calculated data. 18 refs
