Description

Results are reported on measurement of fission product activity in reactor water and off-gas during D-1 and D-2 experimental assemblies irradiation. Every assembly contained three fuel elements with diameter 1 mm cladding holes in zone of maximum local power. Time of assembly D-1 is 5 years, that of D-2 - 2 years. Linear power of fuel elements in assembly D-1 reached 70 W/cm, in assembly D-2 - 100 W/cm. Fission products release from fuel elements with initial defects during irradiation was calculated on experimental data of fission products activity in the reactor circuit and compared with modelling calculations.
