Estimation of Po-210 Losses from the Solid Bi-209 Target Irradiated in a Thermal Neutron Flux |
D. Pankratov, S. Ignatiev, D. Ridikas, A. Letourneau |
A brief summary of Po formation processes and release mechanisms from polonium-contained media is provided. Quantitative estimations of Po-210 losses from the solid Bi-209 target irradiated in the thermal neutron flux is given as an example. Other potential applications where this analysis could be directly applicable are mentioned. |
