Development of the Method for Characterization of Samples Containing Spontaneously Fissioning Nuclides Using Fission Products Gamma-Spectrometry

摘要

This paper presents some results of a study devoted to control of nuclear material samples containing spontaneously fissioning nuclides by means of γ-spectrometry. Gamma-radiation spectra of plutonium and ~(252)Cf samples were measured and analyzed. Some gamma-radiation emitters were identified, which made it possible to develop a new method for determining the mass of spontaneously fissioning material in the sample.
