Tellurium transport in the RCS under conditions relevant for severe nuclear accidents

Radiolytic Degradation of Dimethyl Telluride in Aqueous Solutions

“…Tellurium is released from the fuel after sufficient oxidation of the cladding (Collins et al, 1987) and transported through the reactor coolant system to the containment, mostly in a form of different aerosols (Espegren et al, 2021). The speciation of tellurium is highly dependent on the prevailing conditions, oxidizing or reducing (Beahm, 1987).…”
