Description

The limits of in place testing of iodine filters with 131ICH3 led to develop a complementary method aiming at delivering specific information about packing and mounting quality of such filters. The choice was made of a pulse injection method using Freon 12 (CCl2F2) and either an electron capture or a flame ionization detector. This method was qualified on the STRATUS test rig at Saclay and was successfully applied to various situations such as: acceptance tests in PWR's, assistance to manufacturers and expertise of a poorly efficient iodine filter train
