Abstract

Four types of gas producing reactions induced by thermal neutrons have been studied at an intense thermal neutron beam of the Grenoble High Flux Reactor.

  1. (i)

    hydrogen,tritium and helium production during the ternary fission process for several actinides.

  2. (ii)

    hydrogen and helium production via (nth,p) and (nth,α) reactions on structural materials like V,Zn and Mo.

  3. (iii)

    helium production via (nth,α) reactions on fission products like Ru.Pd,Cd and Sn.

  4. (iv)

    helium production via (nth,α) reactions on actinides from 232Th to 239Pu.

Gas producing cross-sections ranging from a few barn to smaller than one microbarn have been observed
