This paper describes a method of calculating the actual fission yield of Kr and Xe in nuclear fuel including the effect of neutron capture reactions and decay. The bases for this calculation are the cumulative yields (ref. 1) of Kr and Xe isotopes (or pairs of isotopes) which are unaffected by neutron capture reactions, and measured Kr and Xe isotope ratios.
Also the burnup contribution from the different fissile heavy isotopes must be known in order to get accurate fission gas yields.
