A Study of the Kinetics of I₂Deposition on Stainless Steel Sampling Lines

Localized corrosion and stress corrosion cracking of stainless steels in halides other than chlorides solutions: a review

“…Iodine is a dangerous fission product that could be released in accidents of nuclear power plants (Wren et al, 1999). The amount of iodine released to the environment is monitored with sampling systems that have stainless steel lines that transport gases through filters and absorbers where the presence and concentration of radionuclides are analyzed (Evans & Nugraha, 2002). It was shown that with water vapor content above 75% and above 10 −9 m I 2 in the gas, aqueous pitting corrosion by iodine is possible (Evans & Nugraha, 2002).…”

Besides the integrity problem in the material of the sampling line, the amount of iodine transmitted through the line is reduced, causing errors in the monitoring process (Evans & Nugraha, 2002).…”
