If this circulating crud is not removed from the HTS [heat transport system], subsequent neutron activation and re-deposition will create radiological problems in the HTS(increased man-rem). An increased purification flow will remove much or all of these products.

The neutrons typically contribute more than half of this.... b) gamma rays from fission product decay and from decay of activation products in reactor components produce 15% to 25% of the heat in the moderator. This heat decreases slowly after a reactor shut down. c) Conventional heating(conduction, convection, thermal radiation and friction) accounts for about 3% to 5% of moderator heating. 1, record 8, English, - heat%20source

Connaître les trois sources principales du réchauffement du modérateur. [...] Lorsque le réacteur fonctionne à pleine puissance, les sources chaudes du modérateur sont : a) Le rayonnement prompt imputable à la fission (neutrons et rayons gamma) produit 70 % à 80 % de la chaleur dans le modérateur. Les neutrons contribuent habituellement à plus de la moitié de cette chaleur. [...] b) Les rayons gamma issus de la désintégration des produits de fission et de la désintégration des produits d'activation dans les composants de réacteur produisent entre 15 % et 25 % de la chaleur dans le modérateur. Cette chaleur diminue lentement après la mise à l'arrêt du réacteur. c) Le chauffage classique (conduction, convexion, rayonnement thermique et frottement) représente environ 3 % à 5 % du chauffage du modérateur. 1, record 8, French, - source%20du%20r%C3%A9chauffement
