Excited Species of Gases Produced in the Nuclear Reactor

摘要: For many years we have been investigating the chemical effects in gases of mixed pile radiation and fission fragment produced a nuclear reactor (1). Mixed consists y-radiation, fast neutrons, some-radiation, and, containing nitrogen, proton recoil by N14 (n, p)C14 reaction. Fission is obtained placing U235 glass fibers vessel or flow system gas subjecting to thermal neutrons. When 0.1 mg more present per cubic centimeter gas, predominant acting on gas. Our investigations shown that are similar those caused radiation. example, when nitrous oxide irradiated with either fragments radiation, same relative amounts N2, 02, NO2 formed. Also, a, 3, 7 ionizing M/N values (within limit error) primary processes probably even identical. On other hand, if used (which initially charges up +20), then formed ions will exceeding unity. Under our experimental conditions these doubly (for helium3), triply, higher ionized particles instantaneously react surrounding uncharged particles, forming lower charge. Therefore, it possible for distribution ions, excited neutral species be
