Series Description: This report summarizes experimental work on activated charcoal and synthetic traps for iodine removal. The experiments tested traps containing activated charcoal and Linde Molecular Sieve material (a synthetic zeolite), using iodine-131 to test the performance of off-gas lines under conditions similar to the operating conditions of the Oak Ridge Research Reactor (ORR). It also describes the experimental apparatus, procedures, and results; identifies characteristics of effective traps; and recommends further study.
