Influence of chemical form on cesium revaporization from the reactor coolant system

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7037446

The issue of revaporization of deposited radionuclides during severe reactor accidents is discussed. Thermodynamic properties are estimated for the mixtures CsOH + CsI, CsBO/sub 2/ + B/sub 2/O/sub 3/, and Cs/sub 2/SiO/sub 3/ + SiO/sub 2/. It is shown that the chemical form of deposited cesium can alter the rate and timing of revaporization.
