摘要
Precise integral measurement of fast neutron-induced fission product yields for various actinides is of high interest for applied nuclear science. The goal of this effort is to improve uncertainties in fission product yield values of 237Np. Fission was induced in a NpO2(NO3) target using the Godiva IV critical assembly in burst mode. The irradiated sample was transferred to a high-resolution gamma-ray detection setup within 50 minutes. gamma-ray list mode data was collected from 50 minutes to 1 week after the irradiation. gamma-ray spectroscopy was performed to analyze the time dependent gamma-ray yields using an automated peak search algorithm to identify isotopes by their decay gamma-ray energy and half-life. The initial activity for each isotope identified was used to calculate their fission product yield.
