Title:
METHOD OF REMOVING HALOGEN
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5239513
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Iodine and bromine are easily and quantitatively separated from the coolant of sodium-cooled reactors by passing a quantity of the sodium into a metal segregation vessel, and reducing the temperature of the vessel and coolant, whereupon the iodine and bromine segregates and adheres to the inner surface of the vessel where they remain after the coolant is separated from the vessel. This method is useful for establishing the absence or the presence and possible severity of a failed fuel element in the reactor.
