    Abstract

    Results from the Phébus-FP integral experiments have changed significantly the expectations for gaseous iodine behavior in reactor containments following nuclear accidents. Collaborative efforts underway to understand the behavior of gaseous iodine are focused on the interaction of iodine with epoxy paint. Experimental and ab initio analyses are being used to develop mechanistic descriptions of iodine absorption by paint and the evolution of both molecular iodine and methyl iodide from irradiated paint. Mechanistic understandings of these processes are needed to use findings from the studies for applications in analyses of the variety of paints found in power plants that have aged in service and will degrade during reactor accidents
