Determination of /sup 232/U daughter products released from HTGR fuel during refabrication. Part 2

Description: During the heat treatment step of High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) fuel beads, the /sup 233/U-loaded fuel beads are exposed to temperatures as high as 1700/sup 0/C. Since /sup 233/U fuel beads unavoidably contain a small percentage of /sup 232/U, decay products of /sup 232/U might be released during the heat treatment step. To avoid shielding requirements, experiments were conducted using /sup 232/Th-loaded fuel beads rather than /sup 232/U-loaded fuel beads. Decay products of /sup 23… more
