Carbon-14 extraction from reactor gas, Progress report. Production test authorization {number_sign}124
Description:
Carbon-14 is by far the most popular of the labeled isotopes because of its adaptability to so many chemical compounds and its relatively harmless characteristic beta radiation. Because the inert gas atmosphere contains up to 30% nitrogen, carbon-14 is generated within the K Reactors by the conversion of nitrogen-14, and if not immediately oxidized, carbon-14 may remain in the reactor core for some time. It is eventually oxidized and escapes when the outward gas leakage from the reactor is vent…
