Sources of radioiodine at boiling water reactors. Final report

Specific components in operating boiling water reactors that have a potential for being emission sources of radioactive iodine are determined. The relative magnitudes of these specific releases in terms of the chemical forms of the radioiodine and the resultant annual averages from major components are established. Two models are developed, one which generalizes the data for broad industry use for predictive purposes, and a second model for determining the behavior of the iodine during transport via plant ventilation systems.
