Fast reactor fission yield measurement program at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory
Description
The INEL fission yield measurement program and the current status of the results are reviewed. Fast reactor fission yields for 233U, 235U, 238U, 239Pu, 241Pu, and 237Np obtained for samples irradiated in Row-8 of EBR-II have been reported. The neutron spectrum associated with the reported yields has been reported. Measurement of fast reactor fission yields for 240Pu, 242Pu, and 241Am is in progress. To supplement these data, and to provide additional correlation points relative to the effect of neutron energy on fission yields, a series of samples previously irradiated in the axial blanket and Row-2 to 4 of EBR-II has been obtained for analysis. Future efforts relative to recommending and prooftesting methods for the analysis of burnup for FBR fuels are discussed
