Natural production of long lived radionuclides
Description
The calculation of the natural production of long-lived radionuclides has been studied. Long-lived radionuclides (129I, 99Tc, 81Kr, 36Cl, 239Pu, 237Np, 14C) are constantly produced in underground rocks by various nuclear processes such as reactions with neutrons or with alpha particles and also spontaneous fission of 238U. Calculation of natural production of radionuclides requires information on the chemical composition of the rock and various physical parameters
