Contamination transport in the primary coolant system during a breached fuel pin test in EBR-II

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6743420
The release and transport behavior of contaminants can be interpreted in terms of two basic mechanisms: particulate entrainment and solution of volatile, short-lived precursors. Examination of the sampler indicates that for U, Pu, /sup 95/Zr-Nb, /sup 103/Ru, /sup 106/Ru, /sup 144/Ce, and /sup 154/Eu particulate entrainment was the dominant mechanism in this test. The distributions of /sup 141/Ce and /sup 140/Ba-La deposits indicated both mechanisms were significant in the transport of these species.
