RE: Ag-110m Production



Greetings:

Another source of Ag-110m activity is the rod cluster control assembly
which, in some reactors, is made of  silver-indium-cadmium clad with
stainless steel. Coolant Ag-110m activity is trended as an indicator for
control assembly wear.

Regards,

RADSAFER's - can anyone enlighten me as to how Ag-110m is produced in
nuclear reactors?
