Description

The behavior of fission gases in a circulating sodium system was investigated. The release rates to the covergas were strongly influenced by the sodium temperature. For the system I-135 /Xe-135 m, Xe-135 the release behavior of the xenon isotopes followed exactly the adsorption of iodine within the loop. The behavior of nuclides formed during irradiation is more complex and could not be explained completely. Two kinds of half lives for the degassing process were found. Degassing half lives in the range of 17 to 32 minutes are explained by diffusion through the sodium-covergas interface. Another kind of degassing half life, ranging from 80 to over 200 minutes must be explained by some special features of the system
