Abstract

To dispose of long-lived fission products (LLFP) ejected from nuclear reactor plants is one of the most important tasks on nuclear physics and engineering. The ex- periments with the radiative target are limited, due to the high radioactivity and chemical property of the target. In consequence, the nuclear reaction data for LLFP are insufficient. In this work, we propose a feasible method to obtain the data for radiative targets using inverse kinematics and simulate specific systems to evaluate the thick-target yields of the nuclear transmutation reactions for LLFP.

Summary

Introduction

To reduce radioactive waste ejected from nuclear power plants is a significant topic in globe. Nuclear transmutation is a promising technology to dispose of the waste with high radioactivity. The experiments to access the data of LLFP reactions by the inverse kinematics can be namely performed, while avoiding the radioactive target [2]. The TTY is a macroscopic value which is defined with corresponding to the reaction, and is composed of the target properties such as the atomic weight A (g mol−1), the density ρ (g cm−3) and the cross section σ (cm). If the TTY is obtained microscopically, the excitation function of the reaction cross section is needed. We suggest the method to estimate the TTY of the transmutation reaction from the inverse kinematics, without measurements of microscopic values. We summarize the contents and mention the feasibility for the LLFP reaction data
