Behavior of charcoal filters during accident and post-accident conditions

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6027002
The growing awareness of the problems concerning contamination by airborne radionuclides has established the need for the gathering of information involving filtering effectiveness of charcoals, both during and after high levels of radiation exposure. This includes filters currently in use in reactor environments and also in clean room applications. This proposal deals with the design of experiments and equipment necessary to observe the performance of charcoal filters during accident and post-accident conditions, with variation of charcoal composition, weathering, damage to filters, and radiation exposure at peak level of 10 to the 9th power rads for accident iodine buildup on adsorber.
