Dose characteristics of a mixture of uranium fission fragments

  • Published:
The Soviet Journal of Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Abstract

Results are presented for calculations for the different dose characteristics of fragment elements: the percentage composition of the mixture for a uranium exposure time t0=100 days and a cooling off period τ=15–540 days, the time variation of the activity of the mixture for t0, equal to 60, 100 and 150 days. The calculated data are in satisfactory agreement with the results of radiochemical analyses.

The gamma constant of the mixture is essentially independent of t0 (within the limits 60–150 days) and also remains approximately constant for values of τ ranging from 15–180 days.
