Confinement of airborne radioactivity. Progress report: January--June 1973
Radiolytic desorption tests of a series of carbon samples containing KI/ subb 3/, KI, triethylenediamine (TEDA), or combinations of TEDA and KI showed that a 10 x 16 mesh coconut shell carbon containing 1% TEDA, 2% KI, and a proprietary flame retardant retained iodine better than all products tested except those containing higher TEDA concentrations. Ignition temperature measurements on the same series of samples showed that the 1% TEDA--2% KI product has an ignition temperature of about 330 deg C under SRP flow conditions (the same as the KI/sub 3/ carbon). The 1% TEDA--2% KI carbon has been selected to replace the unimpregnated carbon currently used in the Savannah River reactor confinement system. (auth)
