Title: The chemistry of fission-product iodine under nuclear reactor accident conditions

Journal Article · · Nucl. Saf.; (United States)

;

Radioisotopes of iodine are generally acknowledged to be the species whose release into the biosphere as a result of a nuclear reactor accident is of greatest concern. In the course of its release, the fission product is subjected to differing chemical environments; these can alter the physicochemical form of the fission product and thus modify the manner in and extent to which release occurs. Both the chemical environments that are characteristic of reactor accidents and their effect in determining the physical and chemical form of fission-product iodine have been studied extensively and are reviewed in this article.
