The use of silver and copper-coated charcoal and cesium impregnated charcoal for trapping or removing radioactive iodine, strontium, and tellurium at temperatures up to 900 deg F from the fuel element purge gas system of the HighTemperature Gas-Cooled Reactor is evaluated. The experimental apparatus used for duplicating the operating conditions anticipated in the reactor is described and a schematic diagram of the system is presented. The method in which the trapping reagent (aqueous silver acetate or ammoniacal silver acetate) is prepared is described. (N.W.R.)
