Fission product aerosol behavior in the PRTR fuel rod failure of September 29, 1965

Description: On September 29, 1965, at 0150 a purposely defected partially molten fuel rod in the rupture loop test facility of the PRTR reactor failed in an unexpected manner. The rupture which resulted in a loss of about 30% of the UO{sub 2}-PuO{sub 2} fuel from the rod was accompanied by the formation of a hole of approximately 1/2 inch diameter in the surrounding process tube. The subsequent flashing of the highly contaminated superheated water, released a fission product aerosol to the containment vess… more

Snow and rain washout coefficients for inorganic iodine vapor

Description: Washout coefficients for gaseous iodine in snowfall and an estimate of the coefficient for rainfall have been experimentally determined for the first time. The coefficient for rain is in agreement with theory. The coefficient for snow appears to depend upon crystal type and size as well as upon snowfall rate.
