Development of Analytical Techniques for Aerosol and Fission Products Release from Hot and Boiling Sodium Pools

摘要

A method of sodium determination was developed which is simple, fast, and easily automated. It was further shown that the techniques of OH, CO sub 2 , and HCO sub 3 analysis used in water technology are equally applicable to the problem treated here. An analytical technique based on atomic absorption spectrometry was developed allowing monitoring of fission products released. Random samples taken in the Cs determination by activation analysis and in the Sr determination using x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy were compared. The capabilities of the method used were demonstrated for these fission products. (ERA citation 05:030654)
