ACTIVITY IN THE HFIR PRIMARY COOLANT SYSTEM AFTER A MELTDOWN OF THE FUEL IN REACTOR
An estimate was made of the fission product activity which would result in the HFIR primary coolant system following a meltdown of the fuel element within the reactor. The rare gases and the halogens appear to be the main contributors to the gamma activity in the coolant system imnmediately after the meltdown, and iodine appears to be the main contributor 24 hours after the meltdown.
