RADIOCHEMICAL STUDIES OF THE FAST NEUTRON FISSION OF URANIUM-235 AND URANIUM-238

Author information unavailable

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Radiochemical studies utilizing ion exchange chromatography were made of heavy fission products of U/sup 235/ and U/sup 238/ with two spectra of fast neutrons. The lower energy neutron spectrurn used was very similar to an undegraded fission spectrurn. The higher energy neutron spectrum had a broad maximum near 8 Mev and was thought to be somewhat like the neutron spectra of thermnuclear weapons. A comparison is made between the results of this work and the literature values for low-energy fission. (auth)
