AbstractAbstract
[en] The fission product gamma spectra of 233U, 235U, and 239Pu were measured at 12 cooling times following 20,000-s irradiations in the thermal column of the Omega West Reactor. The mean cooling times ranged from 29 s to 146,500 s. The total gamma energies were obtained by integrating over the energy spectra, and both the spectra and the total energies are compared with calculations using the CINDER-10 code and ENDF/B-IV data base. The measured and calculated gamma spectra are compared in a series of figures. The measured total gamma energies are approx. 14% larger than the calculated energies during the earliest counting period (4 s to 54 s cooling time). For 235U, the measured and calculated total gamma energies are nearly the same after 1200 s cooling time, and the measurements are 2% to 6% lower at longer cooling times. For 239Pu, the measured and calculated total gamma energies are nearly the same at cooling times longer than 4,000 s, and for 233U this condition prevails at cooling times longer than 10,000 s. 39 figures, 4 tables
