Abstract:: The magnitude of the effect on decay heat of neutron capture by fission products for hypothesized "worst case" irradiations was examined. This effect is shown to be small (less than 2 percent) for times less than 1,000 seconds and a simple model is presented for estimating the magnitude of the...

Abstract:: A method of calculating decay heat is presented which is a simplification of existing calculational methods, the summation method in particular. The method involves the assumption that one physical process, neutron capture, is negligible in order to simplify the governing physical equations. A Greens function is derived and the decay...
