Optimization of cobalt-60 production in the Hanford Testing facilities
Description:
The longitudinal (axial) flux distribution in the Hanford production reactors quite closely approximates a ``chopped`` cosine. Consequently, any longitudinally uniform charge placed in a reactor will produce a daughter product with a specific activity distribution which also approximates a cosine. Such a distribution has an average-to-maximum specific activity of about 0.7 and is not desirable when product uniformity is required.
