  2. 21. A Chemical Perspective on the Tellurium Source Term in the Context of Severe Nuclear Power Plant Accidents

    Author : Fredrik Espegren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In the event of a severe nuclear accident, one of the biggest concerns is the release of radioactive nuclides. Typically, the most volatile is likely to be released. One that is considered among the most volatile is tellurium. Additionally, health implications towards the public by tellurium can be by itself or the decay product iodine. READ MORE

  4. 22. Long-term Performance of PVC and CSPE Cables used in Nuclear Power Plants : the Effect of Degradation and Plasticizer migration

    Author : Maria Ekelund; Ulf Gedde; Thomas Hjertberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PCV; CSPE; cables; ageing; mechanical properties; plasticizer migratio; LIRA; life time prediction; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : Enormous amounts of low voltage cables installed in a Swedish nuclear power plant are reaching their expected lifetimes. Since the cables are crucial to operational safety, it is of great importance that the actual condition of the installed cables is determined. READ MORE

  5. 23. The chemistry of organic iodides under severe nuclear accident conditions in LWRs

    Author : Sabrina Tietze; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organic iodides; Wet-filter system scrubber ; Chlorine; Volatile iodine source term; Severe nuclear accident; Cables; Sorption; Containment; Paint; Iodine; LWR; Radiolysis;

    Abstract : For many countries nuclear fission is an important part of their energy portfolio. However, a great concern is the occurrence of nuclear reactor accidents, which can result in the emission of radioactivity into the environment. READ MORE

  6. 24. Formation, partitioning and interactions of organic iodides under severe nuclear accident conditions

    Author : Sabrina Tietze; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Epoxy paint; Methyl iodide; Iodine source term; Organic iodides; Severe nuclear accidents;

    Abstract : During severe nuclear reactor accidents such as Chernobyl or Fukushima large amounts of radioactive iodine can be released in form of inorganic and organic iodine species into the environment. Volatile radioactive iodine species are harmful to human health when inhaled. READ MORE

  7. 25. Radioactive fall-out from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident in 1986 and cancer rates in Sweden, a 25-year follow up
