Experimental Studies of the Dynamics of Adsorbed and Condensed Phase Iodine Species Formed in Severe Reactor Accidents: Final Project Report

Abstract

We have studied the chemical transformations of semi-volatile organic iodide species (RI) in the condensed phase as well as adsorbed onto the surfaces of environmentally relevant particles, e.g., soot (carbon) and dust (silica) under real-world conditions. The combination of chosen experimental methods provide a molecular-level insight into the chemical dynamics of organic iodides. Throughout this project, we have developed new experimental, quantum chemistry, and data analysis capabilities. All experimental work was performed with 127I.
