The samples were derived1455300100019 from experimental rods of uranium irradiated in a 1455300100020 heavy-water-moderated and -cooled Savannah River 1455300100021 production reactor. Samples were sectioned from each 1455300100022 rod, dissolved and analyzed for tritium content. 1455300100023 Sections weighing 40-80 g were cut from each rod, and 1455300100024 any adherent film of tritiated deuterium oxide removed 1455300100025 with a solution of sodium hydroxide. The uranium of 1455300100026 each section was then dissolved in nitric acid an 1455300100027 apparatus designed to collect the off-gas 1455300100028 quantitatively. The collected gas was scrubbed to 1455300100029 remove nitrogen oxides and then was passed through 1455300100030 copper oxide combustion tube to convert any hydrogen to1455300100031 water. 1455300100032 METHOD (CHSEP) 1455300100033 DETECTOR (SCIN) Tritium was measured by liquid scintillation 1455300100034 counting. 1455300100035 HISTORY (20191113C) OG. 1455300100036 ENDBIB 34 0 1455300100037 COMMON 1 3 1455300100038 EN-DUMMY 1455300100039 EV 1455300100040 2.5300E-02 1455300100041 ENDCOMMON 3 0 1455300100042 ENDSUBENT 41 0 1455300199999 SUBENT 14553002 20191113 14611455300200001 BIB 3 3 1455300200002 REACTION (92-U-235(N,F)1-H-3,BIN/TER,FY/RAT,,SPA) 1455300200003 ERR-ANALYS (DATA-ERR) No information on sources of uncertainties 1455300200004 STATUS (TABLE) Text on p.100 in Nucleonics,18,100,1960 1455300200005 ENDBIB 3 0 1455300200006 NOCOMMON 0 0 1455300200007 DATA 2 1 1455300200008 DATA DATA-ERR 1455300200009 NO-DIM NO-DIM 1455300200010 1.05E+04 0.09E+04 1455300200011 ENDDATA 3 0 1455300200012 ENDSUBENT 11 0 1455300299999 ENDENTRY 2 0 1455399999999
