Title: An evaluation of the suitability of laser-induced fluorescence for measurements of fission-product iodine sorptivity in the MHTGR [modular high-temperature gas-cooled reactor]

Experiments and calculations indicate that laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) lacks the sensitivity needed for sorptivity measurements of I{sub 2} or other molecular species at partial pressures below 10{sup {minus}11} atm. Although the technique may have sufficient sensitivity for measurements of atomic species, the species of interest are, in all likelihood, not atomic. Methods of measurement which would allow the determination of species are proposed. 9 refs., 6 figs.
