Thermodynamic properties of a high pressure subcritical UF6He gas volume (irradiated by an external source)
Description
A computer simulation study concerning a compressed fissioning UF6 gas is presented. The compression is to be achieved by a ballistic piston compressor. Data on UF6 obtained with this compressor were incorporated in the simulation study. As a neutron source to create the fission events in the compressed gas, a fast burst reactor was considered. The conclusion is that it takes a neutron flux in excess of 1015 n/cm2-s to produce measurable increases in pressure and temperature, while a flux in excess of 1019 n/cm2-s would probably damage the compressor
