Protactinium-231 – New burnable neutron absorber
Burnable neutron absorbers such as gadolinium and erbium are used for compensating excess reactivity in nuclear reactors. Their daughter nuclides resulting from neutron absorption by erbium and gadolinium do not play important role from the viewpoint of neutronics processes occurring in the reactor...
