Evaluation of Silver Mordenite for Radioiodine Retention at the PUREX Process Facility Modification

摘要

To determine the bed-loading capacities and the effluent iodine concentrations at normal, off-normal, and standby conditions, PNL performed a series of statistically designed parametric tests using a bed of AgZ 12 cm long x 1 cm diameter. In addition, tests were performed to determine the effect of bed length, the effect of a second bed, the effect of extended standby conditions, and the efficiency of hydrogen-reduced AgZ (Ag sup 0 Z). Results of these experiments are presented in this report. (ERA citation 12:036489)
