• APPLICATION TO THE UC DISCS TAR-
  GET FOR THE SPES PROJECT AT LNL
• Features 1-6 of RIBO are
• used in series with MCNPX
• to estimate the production of
• n-rich radioisotopes in the
• SPES-RIB project at INFN.
• Simulations concern the
• multi-thin target 8,9, with
• 7 UC 6-cm diameter pills.
• The preliminary results yield these release
  fractions (RF)
