SM-1 (APPR-1) Research and Development Program : Final Report on Short-Lived and Fission Product Activity in the SM-1 Primary Coolant, Task III

Abstract: The primary coolant of the SM-1 (APPR-1) was analyzed for short-lived and fission product activities. Manganese-56 was found to be the predominant non-fission product nuclide contributing to the short lived activity. Fission products were found in the coolant. It is concluded these fission products originate from a defects in the cladding and from surface contamination of the fuel elements.
