Abstract :

The ceramic fuel fission process within the pressurized water reactor (PWR) leads to generate radioactive fission products. The isotopes (85Kr and 106Ru), a money these products, which emitt gamma radiation. The process of calculations was conducted by using the computer program "MATLAB". The calculation included the effect of enrichment and neutron flux on the production ratio of these isotopes. It has been found that the increase of these parameters led to increased production of gamma–ray ratio.
