Steady-state [gamma]-radiolysis of aqueous 2-butanone (MEK) and its effect on aqueous iodine volatility in containment

In the event of a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) in a water cooled reactor, a break in the primary cooling circuit followed by fuel failure could release a significant fraction of the core inventory of radioactive iodine into containment. Non-volatile aqueous iodide may be converted into volatile I...
