Title: SBLOCA outside containment at Browns Ferry Unit One. Volume 2. Iodine, cesium, and noble gas distribution and release

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5756484

This is the second volume of a two-part study regarding the response of Browns Ferry Unit 1 to a postulated break in the scram discharge volume of the control rod drive hydraulic system immediately following a scram. The material in this second volume pertains to the second aspect of the study, the resultant transport of fission products from their original locations in the fuel to a series of repositories within the primary system, the primary and secondary containment structures, and ultimately the release of a small portion to the environment. Transport models are developed for the noble gases krypton and xenon and for iodine and cesium to describe the release of these fission products from the overheated fuel and their subsequent movement under the conditions predicted to exist in the various repositories during the course of the accident.
