Fission Product Release Behaviour after Reactor Shutdown: Experience at Tarapur Atomic Power Station

摘要

A study on the fission product release behaviour after reactor shutdown has been carried out at Tarapur Atomic Power Station. The activity concentrations of iodines, caesium and technetium in reactor water have been measured. The release rates and release rate coefficients have been computed. The nature of the variation of the release rate coefficients with decay constants of the iodines has been used to find out the mechanism of their release. In this connection an interstation comparision has been made between Gundremmingen BWR in West Germany and TAPS BWR. (Atomindex citation 08:347794)
