A mathematical model of iodine spiking in pressurized water reactors

When a pressurized water reactor is operated for a sufficiently long period of time, a small number of fuel rods will develop ruptures in their claddings. These defects will leak volatile fission products into the primary coolant, including radioactive iodine. During steady-state operation of the...
