An understanding of iodine behavior is necessary to properly evaluate the iodine source term in a core-disruptive light water reactor accident. The effects of factors, such as pH, temperature, and iodine concentration, on the relative amounts of volatile (I/sub 2/, HOI) and nonvolatile (I/sup -/, IO/sub 3//sup -/, I/sub 3//sup -/, etc.) species in an air-water system have been studied extensively. However, the effects of radiation do not have a broad experimental base. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of gamma radiation of aqueous iodide solutions with respect to producing volatile iodine species.
