Decay rate and decay heat data from fission products
Description
Decay rate data of mixed fission products are presented from thermal neutron fission of /sup 233/U, /sup 235/U, and /sup 239/Pu and from fast fission of /sup 238/U and /sup 232/Th in the absence of neutron absorption by the fission products. The effect of neutron absorption by the fission products on decay rate is shown to be relatively small for conditions that exceed current light water reactor conditions. Decay heat data from fission products of /sup 233/U and /sup 232/Th in the absence of neutron absorption are provided which supplement similar data for /sup 235/U, /sup 238/U, and /sup 239/Pu given in the new American National Standards Institute/American Nuclear Society 5.1 Standard. 8 refs
