초록

A method for preparing "reagent" for radioactive methyliodide vapors production using an isotopic exchange reaction has been developed. Based on the obtained data of the isotopic exchange efficiency and hydraulic resistance, white fused alumina (700-840 ㎛) was selected as the carrying agent material for "reagent" production. The radioiodine isotopic exchange dependences on such parameters as temperature, gas flow velocity, and the methyliodide concentration in it were determined. Optimal conditions have been selected to achieve 85% of the isotopic exchange rate in 1 h of the experiment. The obtained data allowed to develop an approach to the test of iodine filters for nuclear power plants and to determine their efficiency.
