Tolman, E L; Nishio, M

This report presents the results of analyses performed to estimate the inventory and distribution of selected radioisotopes within the TMI-2 reactor system. The intent of the report is to document the method used in estimating the fission product inventory and associated uncertainties. The values presented should be viewed as preliminary. Selected radioisotopes for which best-estimate inventories and uncertainties are presented include: Krypton (Kr-85), Cesium (Cs-137), Iodine (I-129), Antimony (Sb-125), Ruthenium (Ru-106), Strontium (Sr-90), Cerium (Ce-144), and Europium (Eu-154). The TMI-2 inventory data will provide a basis for relating the fission product behavior during a large-scale severe accident to smaller-scale experimental data and fission product behavior modeling work. This is an important link in addressing the many technical questions that relate to core damage progression and fission product behavior during severe accidents. 11 refs., 7 figs., 15 tabs.
