ON-LINE SEQUESTRATION OF FISSION PRODUCT GASES IN OPERATING NUCLEAR REACTORS
A research program is outlined to theoretically and experimentally establish the effectiveness and acceptability of on-line sequestering of fission product gases (FPGs) as they are generated in a fissile fuel pin using adsorbents and/or molecular sieves selectively distributed within the lower spring-plenum region of the LWR fuel. If successful this innovation can be implemented in existing and next generation LWRs and may reduce accident source term (releasable FPGs) enhance reactor safety and acceptance extend fuel life suppressing clad swelling and fuel failure reduce thermal neutron poisons in high flux core regions improve operational and economical performance require only minor changes to fuel pin assembly and use use in LWRs with no license or tech-specifications impact
