AbstractAbstract
[en] The behaviour of iodine in the dissolution process of nuclear fuel is investigated. Unirradiated UO2 pellets were used in the study. The test shows that possible I- or IO3- can be reduced or oxidized to elemental iodine by HNO2 present in HNO3 and produced in dissolution process of UO2. The result shows that 87 ∼ 99.4% of 131I can be removed in the period of 3.5 ∼ 6 hours at 95 deg C and boiling point respectively. The adding of stable isotope of iodine to the dissolver can improve the removal of 131I. It is difficult to remove iodine from the solution when the concentration of iodine is lowered down to 10-6 mol/L. The strengthening of sparging-air would favour to removal of iodine from dissolver solution. More than 90% of radioiodine goes to gas-off system by sparging-air in the process of dissolution
