Description
Summary:A brief summary of Po formation processes and release mechanisms from polonium-contained media is provided. Quantitative estimations of 210Po losses from the solid 209Bi target irradiated in the thermal neutron flux is given as an example. Other potential applications where this analysis could be directly applicable are mentioned.
