Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description Nuclear decay heat measurements for a range of fission fragments; important inputs in nuclear fuel assay and waste management.
Exploitation Route Published data which enters into wider used JENDL/ENSDF/DDEP nuclear data files and is applied in future reactor designs and waste management planning.
