Self-Shielding Factors For Uranium And Plutonium

  • 1. Soreq Nuclear Research Centre, Yavne (Israel)

Description

Self-shielding factors for 238U, 239Pu, 240Pu, 241Pu' and 242Pu are presented for several energies and temperatures as functions of dilution. They were calculated by the 'ladder' method, in a variant which was especially developed to gain high accuracy in short computer time. A brief description of the method is given. The temperature-dilution dependence of the cross-sections displayed by these shielding factors is thus free from the assumptions of either small fluctuations or isolated resonances. (author)
