...i thought that each core load had a unique isotopic mix which could serve as a fingerprint much in the way that each nuclide has a unique decay constant and, with gamma spectroscopy, a unique gamma energy profile...
...if i am right, do the fuel vendors and the reactor engineers have these numbers...
...could i readily identify the core that originated contamination found uncontrolled out in the general population...
...can i tell by body count which core an intake came from...
...in the movie "Sum of All Fears" the nuclear weapon that destroyed baltimore is identified from the debris as originating from "K reactor, Savannah River, February, 1968"...
...is this realistic and, if so, can it be done for power reactor nuclides...
