neutrons from DU, Unat
some time ago I did a demo of Spontaneous Fission in depleted uranium:below is an online calculator that allows you to figure the neutron yield of all different uranium
formulations, both natural and depleted. The results quoted immediately below are from a query about 1 kg DU:
1 kg U of recycled uranium
(from 39 GWd/tHM burnup, 3.5 wt% initial enrichment,
5 year storage time after unload)
depleted to 0.2 wt% U-235
(from 39 GWd/tHM burnup, 3.5 wt% initial enrichment,
5 year storage time after unload)
depleted to 0.2 wt% U-235
Delay = 1 year(s)
