Description

Fission-product decay energy-release rates have been measured for thermal-neutron fission of /sup 235/U. The purposes of this report are to present the experiment and the data obtained and to compare the data directly with other recent results. Finally, the data is compared with the new decay heat standard, and comments upon its validity for use in analysis of a hypothetical LOCA are presented. 44 refs
