Nuclear power plants as 14C generators

Creators

Description

Processes of 14C generation in nuclear power reactors of different types are considered. Data on 14C generation rates in coolants, moderators and fuels of the WWER-440, RBMK-1000, AST-1 (coolant and moderator is ditolyl methane C15H16, BWR, PWR, MAGNOX, FBR reactors to this or that extent produce 14C. A conclusion is made that for all types of reactors decrease of nitrogen quantity in a core will cause decrease of 14C generated and released into environment
