The gaseous (by)products generated from molten salt reactors need to be monitored to prevent the release of potentially toxic gases to the environment. In particular, 129I has a long half-life and its toxicity and persistence in the environment make iodine and iodine-containing compounds (such as ICl from chloride containing molten salt systems) of great concern. Optical spectroscopy tools, including Raman and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies, are ideal for monitoring and quantifying such off-gas products. Iodine (I2) has a strong and distinct Raman signature and the change in signal with a change in concentration can be used for quantification of these byproducts. Iodine monochloride (ICl) has distinct signatures in both the Raman and the infrared, and its spectrum can also potentially be used for quantitative measurement of this species. In this paper we discuss our recent results on the quantification of iodine monochloride using infrared spectroscopy, in particular first reports of the absolute infrared band strength of ICl.
