EXPERIMENTS ON THE RELEASE OF IODINE-131 FROM IRRADIATED TELLURIUM DIOXIDE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4025103
The rate of l/sup 131/ release in oxygen from irradiated tellurium dioxide powder was studied over the temperature range from 400 to 700 deg C. The iodine was released rapidly at the higher temperatures during the first heating cycle when the powder sintered, but subsequent recycling at the same temperature gave a less efficient separation. An explanation for this behavior is offered based on the mechanisms of the diffusion and sintering processes. (auth)
