TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that the fraction of recoils stopping in the iodate phase increases as the relative amount of iodate to oxide increases, and that the specific activity of the reduced forms of I 2, I − ) remains fairly constant, whatever the extent of fission, and is always higher than the specific activation of the oxidized form (IO 3 − ).About:

Radiochemical study of the ranges in metallic uranium of the fragments from thermal neutron fission
TL;DR: In this paper, the mean ranges in uranium of 28 fission products were determined by radiochemical measurement of the fraction escaping from the surfuace, and several factors affecting the precision and accuracy of the method are discussed.

Chemical effects in fission product recoil—V the valency state of fission product iodines formed in uranyl iodate
D. Hall,G.N. Walton +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discussed the independent yields of the various isobars involved in the fission process, and showed that the valency state adopted is modified by the environment in which they are formed.

Hot-atom and thermal reactions of fission-product ruthenium in organic solvents
U. Zahn,Garman Harbottle +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a thermal reaction transforms all ruthenium atoms into the "sandwich" compound Ruthenocene by fission-recoil and β-decay.

Chemical effects in fission product recoil—II: The decomposition of uranyl iodate
TL;DR: Under pile irradiation uranyl iodate decomposes, elementary iodine being formed; the amount of decomposition is proportional to the number of fissions that occur; the G factor is 5·8 iodine atoms per 100 eV of recoil energy absorbed as mentioned in this paper.

Chemical effects in fission recoil—IV The efficiency of recoiling atoms in the decomposition of potassium nitrate
D. Hall,G.N. Walton +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the average G factor for the decomposition of potassium nitrate by fission fragments recoiling from uranium foils has been determined as 6.0 nitrite ions per 100 ev of recoil energy absorbed.
