Abstract
Recently the releases of C-14 from different sources gained increasing interest. This is because this radionuclide contributes with its long half life significantly to the collective dose commitment.
Measurement of the release rate of C-14 as CO2 were carried out from 1979 to 1984 at the Vienna Triga reactor. These results show large differences. Due to the large number of available data, a statistical evaluation of data seem promising. This evaluation has shown that the releases fit quite well a normal distribution, indicating that the release of C-14 as CO2 from a TRIGA reactor is a random process.
