EBR-II cover-gas cleanup system
Conference
·
OSTI ID:8307221
Operation of EBR-II with breached elements results in the continuous release of fission gases to the argon cover gas. To control activity in the reactor, a cover-gas cleanup system (CGCS) was installed to remove xenon and krypton from the cover gas by cryogenic distillation. Although only one breached fuel element will, by intention, be in-core during the early stages of the run-beyond-cladding-breach (RBCB) program now under way, the CGCS is designed to handle the activity released by up to 12 mixed-oxide elements.
