A study on the trapping of iodine at high temperatures on activated charcoal. Project DRAGON

OSTI ID:4136660
An experiment is described for the testing of iodine retention characteristics of pure and metal coated/impregnated charcoal - in connection with the specification of internal fuel element trap filler material for the Dragon reactor. The experimental set-up is briefly outlined and results obtained from runs using pure and treated charcoal discussed. A theory for the mechanism of retention of iodine on pure charcoal at high temperatures is offered. Pure coconut-based charcoal gives a satisfactory performance under simulating reactor conditions and is recommended to be used for the fuel element traps in the first fuel charge.
