Activation Product Distribution in Irradiated Graphite

The paper focuses on the 14 C, 36 C1, and 60 Co radionuclide distribution in graphite stacks and blocks, which play a crucial role in the decommission of uranium-graphite reactors. The shutdown uranium-graphite reactor ADE-5 provides an access to the graphite stack for the removal of graphite blocks...

Summary:The paper focuses on the 14 C, 36 C1, and 60 Co radionuclide distribution in graphite stacks and blocks, which play a crucial role in the decommission of uranium-graphite reactors. The shutdown uranium-graphite reactor ADE-5 provides an access to the graphite stack for the removal of graphite blocks. New interpretations are suggested for the radionuclide distribution in bulk graphite stacks based on testing results of graphite blocks removed from the uranium-graphite reactor ADE-5 in 2018.
