Fission-product releases to the primary system of EBR-II from April 1975 to March 1977
This report describes the 14 releases of fission products that occurred in EBR-II from April 1975 to March 1977. Each release was readily detected, and all but one (in a driver-fuel subassembly) was identified with a particular subassembly. Xenon tagging was the primary method of identification, although other methods were used where appropriate. Methods of monitoring and identifying fission-product sources are discussed, and each release and identification is described. Effects of breached elements on plant availability were minimal in this period. From all evidence, cladding breaching on elements in EBR-II continues to be a benign process.
