Abstract
The behaviour of fission products (FPs) during a severe
nuclear power plant accident has
been studied at VTT for the past 25 years. The focus has
been on the transport and
chemistry of aerosols in the primary circuit and the
containment. In the past containment
aerosols have been studied e.g. with intermediate scale
facilities AHMED and VICTORIA.
In primary circuit the studies have included resuspension
and revaporisation phenomena
as well as retention of FPs in steam generators. In
recent years the main interest has been
on ruthenium and iodine, because of their high
radiotoxicity and possibility to form gaseous
compounds
