Calculated Production of Ba140from MTR 25 Fuel Assemblies, April 17, 1950Location: Active:
Originating Office: Oak Ridge Operations Office, Central Management Finding Aids: RHTG Database (classified) Disposition AuthorityUnscheduled Series Description: This report documents the decision to use uranium-235 fuel assemblies from the Material Testing Reactor (MTR) as raw material for the production of barium-140, instead of irradiated Hanford slugs. The report provides the calculations used for making the decision to use the MTR slugs. Activity levels of barium and lanthanum, and the initial uranium composition of the MTR slugs are given in curies and percentage per isotope, respectively. ORNL results are compared to those calculated for Hanford slugs.
