An experience in transplutonium element production and application

Transplutonium element (TPE) production and application is reviewed. Two fabrication-encapsulation processes are considered and the operating characteristics on irradiation in research reactors discussed. The recovery and purification of TPEs from irradiated targets is studied and their use in heat...

Description
Summary:Transplutonium element (TPE) production and application is reviewed. Two fabrication-encapsulation processes are considered and the operating characteristics on irradiation in research reactors discussed. The recovery and purification of TPEs from irradiated targets is studied and their use in heat and ionization sources reviewed.
