Radioactive decay of thorium and uranium in the liquid lead and molten salt

Abstract

The accelerator driven subcritical reactor (ADSR) is very interested in the recent years. One of the researches is about the fuel, fuel should be thorium or uranium; the coolant is liquid lead or molten salt. This paper presents the results of research on the radioactive spectrum of thorium in molten salt, uranium in molten salt, and liquid lead. These research results include energy spectrums of alpha, beta, gamma, neutrino particles; the energy spectrums of the daughter nucleus.
