Analysis of Radiolytically Generated Gases in Mini-AMORE Experiment

Fission Induced Radiolysis of Uranyl Sulfate Solutions

“…The solution experienced neutron/photon flux from the fissioning of LEU in the TSV and from the DU target that caused it to fission. This experiment is a continuation of similar experiments conducted in 2017 and 2018 in which 0.1 M sulfuric acid was present in the TSV [2].…”

“…Table 3.9 compares the samples in this report with those run in 2017 and 2018. The table shows the date, sample type, fission per ng 235 U per LINAC beam energy (Fission/ng-235 U/kWh) and the presence or absence of LEU in the AMORE TSV for the three Fe 2+ spiked samples in this report and the un-spiked samples run in 2017 and 2018 [2]. This shows the effect that uranyl sulfate in the TSV has on fission power in the mini-AMORE solutions.…”

“…Experiment date, sample type and fissions per nanogram of 235 U per LINAC beam energy (Fissions/ng-235 U/kWh) for the three Fe 2+ spiked samples in this report and un-spiked samples run in 2017 and 2018[2].…”

“…shows H2 and O2 production rate (µmole min -1 cc -1 ) vs fission power (watts cc -1 ) for Fe 2+ spiked and un-spiked uranyl sulfate solutions. The data for the un-spiked samples comes from mini-AMORE experiments that were run in 2017 and 2018[2]. It can be seen that H2 and O2 each show decreased production with the addition of ferrous ion.…”
