“…There are five basic designs for high-level waste (HLW) melter systems including: (1) hot wall induction melter, (2) hot wall resistance melter, (3) cold-crucible induction melter (CCIM), (4) liquid-fed ceramic melter (LFCM), and the in-canister melter (Vienna et al 2015). The design and operating conditions of the melter, as well as the HLW waste feed process, can determine how the iodine in the HLW evolves and speciates in the melter off-gas stream.…”

Four radionuclides have been identified as being sufficiently volatile in the reprocessing of nuclear fuel that their gaseous release needs to be controlled to meet U.S. regulatory requirements (Jubin et al. 2011, 2012). These radionuclides are 3 H, 14 C, 85 Kr, and 129 I. Of these, 129 I has the longest half-life and potentially highest biological impact. Accordingly, control of the release of 129 I is most critical with respect to U.S. regulations for the release of radioactive material in stack emissions. Current U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulation governing nuclear facilities (40 CFR 190) states that the total quantity of radioactive materials entering the general environment from the entire uranium fuel cycle, per gigawatt-year of electrical energy produced by the fuel cycle, must contain less than 5 mCi of 129 I.

“…The dominant chemical species in the dissolver off-gas (DOG) stream are highly volatile diatomic elemental iodine (I 2 , 90%~100%) along with a small fraction of organic iodides (e.g., methyl iodide and ethyl iodide, 0%~10%). 2,3 The primary concerned iodine isotope is 129 I due to its extremely long half-life (1.6 3 10 7 years), toxicity, and high mobility in most geological environment. 1 131 I also draws a tremendous amount of public attention especially in an event of a nuclear accident owing to its much higher specific activity with a short half-life of 8.02 days.…”
