Thin layer and gas chromatography, Mossbauer and atomic absorption spectrometry, fission track analysis, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, and other methods employed in geochemistry
Gas core reactor, discussing application of fissionable gas to heat hydrogen propellant in nuclear rocket reactor
Review includes data on the chemical and physical properties of tellurium, its oxides, and fluorides, pertinent to the process problem of handling fission product tellurium in fluoride form. The technology of tellurium handling in nonaqueous processing of nuclear fuels is also reviewed.
Report contains the results of an investigation of the corrosion resistance of nickel and nickel alloys exposed to fluorine, uranium hexafluoride, and volatile fission product fluorides at high temperatures. Survey of the unclassified literature on the subject is included.
GAMBIT computer program provides multigroup flux and current averaged neutron cross sections for input to transport programs. The fast neutron compilation includes P/0/ and P/1/ elastic scattering transfer matrices, inelastic scattering matrices, n,2n cross section matrices, absorption and fission cross sections for all isotopes.
