Series Description: This 1958 report describes a proposed system to decrease the level of xenon poison in the Homogenous Reactor Test Experiment-3 (HRE-3) by removing the iodine precursor of xenon by distillation and concentration of the core solution. The report describes the processes, their equipment and energy requirements, and estimated effectiveness. A schematic diagram illustrates the process and a graph plots the estimated removal of iodine.
