Description

The test program described was designed to provide the experimental data required for consequence evaluation in the analysis of reactor accidents. The objectives are: to determine fission product and aerosol release from fully-irradiated fuel under accident conditions; to identify the chemical forms of the released material; and to correlate the results with experiment and specimen conditions and with data from related experiments. This paper considers the results of three experiments in the temperature interval 1400 to 2000 degrees C, in which maximum fission product releases of >50% of krypton, iodine, and cesium were observed
