Yield[edit]
Well, first, there is a suggestion of improving the infobox, but the given yield doesn't match any of U233, U235 or Pu239 given in the article. Gah4 (talk) 06:41, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Gah4: There's no yield in the infobox. Do you mean the value in {{Medium-lived fission products}}, which is noted to be a weighted average of 65% 235U and 35% 239Pu? Complex/Rational 16:41, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
mass[edit]
I suspect this question should go to the infobox page itself, but could we have the actual mass in it? Gah4 (talk) 06:42, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
- Done, sourced to {{AME2020 II}}. Also, for isotopes (unlike elements), the infobox is in the article, so this talk page is the correct place to ask. Complex/Rational 16:47, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
Waste Classification[edit]
A claim in the "Nuclear Waste" section alleges that Sr-90 is intrinsically High-Level Waste. This is incorrect - Sr-90 is a component of High-Level Waste inasfar as it is a fission product present in spent fuel, but Sr-90 in non-fuel sources can be defined as low-level waste, to the point where Sr-90 is one of the determinants for the classification of what low-level waste (See table 2)
Does anyone know what Wikipedia's standards are regarding regulatory definitions? I imagine some regulatory setup could classify any Sr-90 as HLW, but as written this seems inconsistent with the US NRC's regs and the IAEA recommendations Skeejus (talk) 18:12, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
