Absolute yields of some fission products in the fast neutron induced fission of 238U

Abstract

Fission-track registration characteristics of Lexan plastic track detector immersed in aqueous solution of uranyl nitrate have been studied. An attempt has been made to measure absolute fission yields of some fission products in the 14 MeV induced fission of 238U using track etch-cum-gamma ray spectrometry. Yields of 10 fission-products with half life ranging up to several hours and mass numbers in the region 99-157 are reported. © 1987.
