Isotope- and Element-Resolved Analysis of (Trans)uranium Content of Curium Targets for Heavy-Actinide Production after Intense Neutron Irradiation in the High Flux Isotope Reactor

Abstract Curium is the heaviest element resulting from nuclear power generation and is present in spent nuclear fuel. Macroscopic amounts of transcurium elements are produced by high thermal-neutron flux irradiation of curium targets in a complex process involving many neutron ca...
