Year: 2017
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Spallation reaction study has been performed for the long-lived fission products 137 Cs, 90 Sr and 107 Pd. Isotopic cross sections on proton and deuteron were obtained by using the inverse kinematics technique at the RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory. It was found that the deuteron-induced cross sections are larger than the proton-induced ones for the light-mass products. The experimental data were compared with the SPACS semi-empirical parameterization and a theoretical calculation including both the intra-nuclear cascade and evaporation models by the PHITS transport code. It was found that the spallation reaction could be a promising mechanism for the transmutation of 137 Cs and 90 Sr due to the large total cross section.
