The behaviour of iodine in advanced gas-cooled reactor (AGR) circuits

  • 1. UKAEA Safety and Reliability Directorate, Culcheth

Description

Evidence on the behaviour of iodine in the coolant circuits of AGR is reviewed, and suggests that several iodine species are important with respect to the overall plate-out behaviour. Interconversion of these species by radiolysis in the core is a key process. An approch to the modelling of iodine plate out which takes account of the coolant radiolytic chemistry is described.
