The Evolution of Iodine During Metal Dissolution

(ed.)
- Subject Terms:
- Iodine; Reflux; Uranium Metal
- Description:
- Report produced under Contract W-7401-eng-37 discusses how, during
dissolution in nitric acid of Uranium metal which has been irradiated
in a pile, Radio-Iodine (8.0 day) and Radio-Xenon (5.3 day) are liberated
along with the oxides of nitrogen. Since in the plant these gases are
discharged into the atmosphere, the presence of the activities (particularly
radio-iodine because of its greater chemical reactivity) presents a
physicological hazard. In the summary and conclusions, it is mentioned that
under simulated dissolver conditions in the laboratory, the reflux removed a
large fraction (70 percent to 90 percent) of the Iodine from the off-gasses.
