Radiations of 6.7d U²³⁷

Abstract: The radiations of U²³⁷ have been studied using a magnetic lens beta ray spectrometer and scintillation spectrometers for betas and gammas singly and in coincidence. A beta with an end point energy of 245 keV was found along with evidence for the existence of lower energy components. Gammas of energy 27, 42, 49, 59, 166, 208, 269, 354, 431, and 467 keV were found, and probably a gamma of 102 keV. The decay scheme constructed gives a total decay energy for this isotope of 512 keV.

Poison Transient After Power Cutback and Its Effect on Reactivity

Report discussing the effects of xenon-135 and samarium-149 on the reactivity of nuclear reactors. The findings are presented in a "general manner, so as to be applicable to both the Converter and PuP Reactors."
