Abstract

In fission products in used nuclear fuel, there are several stable isotopes that have a large neutron absorption effect. For evaluation of the neutronics characteristics of a nuclear reactor, the amount of such isotopes should be evaluated by using burn-up calculation codes. To confirm the correctness of such data obtained by calculation codes, it is important to assure the precision of the evaluation of the neutron multiplication factor of used nuclear fuel. However, it is known that there are several hardly measurable elements in such important fission products. Data for the amounts of the hardly measurable elements in used nuclear fuel are scarce worldwide.
