Description

Alpha to spontaneous fission branching ratios of heavy actinides such as 238Pu and 240Pu in solution medium have been determined by the method of solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTDs). The detectors used in the present studies are LR-115, CR-39 (DOP), Lexan polycarbonate and Tuffak polycarbonate. The experimentally measured values of alpha to spontaneous fission ratios by this method are found to agree well with the expected values. (author)
