Description

The effects of incineration of long life fission products (LLFPs) on the discharged toxicity and decrement of h-value are studied for a sodium cooled fast reactor in the nuclear equilibrium state. Either isotope separation or element separation is considered. All LLFPs can be incinerated, if isotope separation is employed for every nuclide except 99Tc with discharge constant of 1/2 per year for other fission products. If the separation is changed from isotopic to elementary for 129I, 126Sn and 79Se, h-value decreases by only 0.015. But it may make attaining criticality difficult. (author)
