Abstract
Volatile molecular iodine and organic iodine species would be generated under radiation in the gas space and sump of nuclear power plant containments during a severe accident involving core melt. Engineered and currently installed safety systems might not effectively retain highly volatile iodine species. Fast and efficient conversion to non-volatile species within the containment would lower the potential risk of a significant release into the environment and therefore, methods must be sought to reduce iodine volatility to a minimum or, ideally, to remove it completely. This paper presents the results of an experimental programme to obtain a fast and efficient reduction of highly volatile organic iodide species in aqueous solution into iodide ions.
