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
