Preparation of Radiation Sources From Fission Products by the Clay Process
Description:
This study was made to determine the feasibility of producing usable radiation sources by the montmorillonite clay process. The clay process was developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory primarily to solve the problem of ultimately disposing of waste fission products. After reviewing the process in detail, it is shown that radiation sources may be prepared with specific activity as high as 4.5 curies of Ce/sup 137/ per gram of clay. Sources of this strength would be entirely suitable for such…
