Most of the United States nuclear air cleaning technology development in recent years has addressed advanced retention concepts in response to environmental concerns. In particular, efforts have centered in the fuel reprocessing portion of the nuclear fuel cycle. Although generally well developed on a cold engineering scale, the individual retention steps for hydrogen-3 (/sup 3/H), carbon-14 (/sup 14/C), krypton-85 (/sup 85/Kr), and iodine-129 (/sup 129/I) must yet be demonstrated in an active integrated facility. Fixation and disposal technologies for retained airborne constituents are generally less well developed.
