Abstract
14C is produced from the reactions of O isotopes with high-energy neutrons. Due to its long half-life, high residence time in the environment and ease of assimilation into living matter, the production of 14C is a major concern when planning for the transportation and disposal of radioactive materials. Observed variation in calculated 14C production from O isotopes using different data libraries causes uncertainties that are demonstrated to affect predictions of radioactive waste arisings and thus could impact disposal and recycling recommendations. There are also significant inconsistencies in the uncertainty data and co-variance matrices given in the nuclear data files for O isotopes.
