Hu. Zwicky et al., RADIAL PLUTONIUM AND FISSION-PRODUCT ISOTOPE PROFILES IN MIXED-OXIDE FUEL-PINS EVALUATED BY SECONDARY-ION MASS-SPECTROMETRY, Journal of nuclear materials, 202(1-2), 1993, pp. 65-69
In the frame of the PRIMO programme the irradiation behaviour of urani
um-plutonium mixed oxide fuel in pressurized water reactors is investi
gated. Secondary ion mass spectrometry was applied for the determinati
on of radial profiles of burnup and of plutonium and fission product i
sotopes, providing data for the analysis of mixed oxide neutronic beha
viour.
