A comparative evaluation of the health risks from minor actinide fission products

Creator:

Wilmot, Aaron

Abstract:

In consideration of the potential use of minor actinides in nuclear fuel, the fission products of several minor actinides (²³⁷Np, ²⁴¹Am, ²⁴²[superscript m]Am, ²⁴³Cm, ²⁴⁴Cm, ²⁴⁵Cm, and ²⁴⁶Cm) were evaluated and compared to the fission products of ²³⁵U. Available data from the Evaluated Nuclear Data File and the Nuclear Database...
