Abstract

The volatility of tellurium and some other fission products was radiochemically studied in heated nitric acid solutions. As tracers 121Te produced by bremsstrahlung of an electron LINAC and other fission products produced by neutron irradiation were used. The distribution rate of radionuclides between the mother solution and the condensate, was considered as volatility, and was determined. The volatility of tellurium was found to be small and close to that of cesium. Volatilization tests were also performed in the presence of large amounts of solutes.
