ABSTRACT:
In water-cooled nuclear reactors where zinc is added to the water to remove or lessen the accumulation of radioactive cobalt, radioactivity arising from the zinc itself as a result of neutron capture is lessened or eliminated entirely by modifying the isotopic composition of the zinc prior to its injection into the system. The modification of the isotopic composition consists of lowering the proportion of .sup.64 Zn or removing this isotope entirely.
