Full textAstatine-211 is a promising radionuclide for targeted alpha therapy of cancers. However, current approaches to bind this radiohalogen to an antibody exhibit limitations such as suboptimal radiochemical yields or the use of toxic precursors, which complicates its clinical transfer. In order to find better alternatives, we explored new classes of precursors, which allow the radiolabelling with astatine-211 and iodine-125 in their nucleophilic form. First, the synthesis of model compounds for each class and the comparison of their efficiency were performed to identify the most promising ones for the radiolabelling with both radionuclides. In a second part, the feasibility of the one-step radiolabelling of antibodies with astatine-211 and iodine-125 using arylboronic acids has been investigated. First, the study on a model compound was conducted in order to identify efficient conditions in aqueous medium and at low temperature before transfering this approach to an anti-CD138 antibody of interest for targeting multiple myeloma. The new process developped outperforms others methods reported in the litterature and has been validated in preclinical biodistribution studies. This new radiolabelling method will ease the clinical transfer of astatine-211 as well as the development of theranostic tools based on the astatine/iodine pair

Full textIodine-124 PET quantitative imaging requires the optimisation of acquisition parameters and of corrections adapted to the complex nature of the emission spectrum of that isotope. A first experimental approach establishes the performance of the Inveon, Siemens PET system dedicated to small animal and highlights the consequences of iodine-124 physical properties on images. To adapt or develop correction methods for various biases demonstrated experimentally, the PET camera Inveon was modelled with the Monte-Carlo simulation platform, GATE. Model validation was conducted by comparing simulated and experimental performances obtained for fluorine-18 and iodine-124. The simulation of test object placed in the Inveon system model determined the correction method most suitable for singles photons emitted by iodine-124. All optimisations performed on test objects of simple geometric shapes were tested in the case of small animal. The results show that some parameters optimised on the test objects did not influence the quantification of activity in the realistic case of a mouse injected with iodine-124. This thesis demonstrates the possibility of quantification by PET imaging of the distribution of monoclonal antibodies labelled with iodine-124 injected into a mouse

Full textDuring a severe accident occuring to a nuclear facility, the radiological consequences are related to the transport and deposition of radionuclides released into the environment. Following the Fukushima accident, significant differences between measurements and simulations were observed for iodine. These could notably be explained by the absence of any iodine chemistry during the transport in the dispersion codes used. To investigate this hypothesis, a reactional mechanism of iodine in the atmosphere has been developed from a critical review of the literature data and 0D and 3D simulations has been performed using the ASTEC and Polair3D simulation tools.The results obtained showed a partial and fast transformation of the released gaseous iodine (I2 and CH3I). The influence of parameters on the iodine speciation such as the pollutant conditions (O3, NOx, COV), photolysis and the amount of iodine is discussed.Iodine turns quickly into oxide forms (IxOy, INOx) and iodocarbons. Significant improvements regarding the reactional mechanism (determination of fundamental data, coupling chemistry-aerosol) remain to be done before coming up with a firm conclusion on the radioactive iodine species present in the atmosphere

Full textDuring a severe accident occurring to a pressurized nuclear water reactor, radiological consequences are related to the transport and deposition of radionuclides released into the environment. Following the Fukushima Daiichi accident, significant differences between measurements and simulations were observed for iodine deposition. It could notably be explained by the absence of any iodine chemistry in the IRSN dispersion codes. To address this, a mechanism of atmospheric iodine chemistry involving 257 reactions was developed from a critical review of the literature. In parallel, missing thermokinetic data were determined by molecular-scale simulations for the X + H2O2 (X = Br, I) and OH + CH2IOH reactions. 0D and 3D simulations were performed using ASTEC and Polair3D after an injection of either I2 or CH3I. The results showed a partial and rapid transformation of these iodinated gaseous compounds. The influence of several parameters (air quality, quantity and nature of iodine released) on iodine speciation was evaluated. For all simulations, iodine is quickly found in the form of iodine oxides and nitroxides or gaseous iodocarbon compounds. The latter may be the cause of iodinated aerosols formation and deposition

Full textImmuno-PET imaging can be used to assess the pharmacokinetic in radioimmunotherapy. When using iodine-124, PET quantitative imaging is limited by physics-based degrading factors within the detection system and the object, such as the long positron range in water and the complex spectrum of gamma photons. The objective of this thesis was to develop a fully 3D tomographic reconstruction method (S(MC)2PET) using Monte Carlo simulations for estimating the system matrix, in the context of preclinical imaging with iodine-124. The Monte Carlo simulation platform GATE was used for that respect. Several complexities of system matrices were calculated, with at least a model of the PET system response function. Physics processes in the object was either neglected or taken into account using a precise or a simplified object description. The impact of modelling refinement and statistical variance related to the system matrix elements was evaluated on final reconstructed images. These studies showed that a high level of complexity did not always improve qualitative and quantitative results, owing to the high-variance of the associated system matrices

Full textInitial treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer is based on a total thyroidectomy and in many cases on the administration of radioactive iodine. Following total thyroidectomy, radioactive iodine is given, based on the primary tumor characteristics. In case of a very low risk of recurrence it is recommended not to give radioactive treatment. In case of high risk patients, a high activity of radioactive iodine is given after TSH stimulation. In case of intermediate risk patients, two randomized prospective studies (ESTIMABL and HILO) have shown that an activity of 1,1 GBq (30 mCi) given after rhTSH (recombinant human Thyroid Stimulating Hormon) was adequate. A further step is taken towards less treatment has now been undertaken with the ESTIMABL2 study, a prospective randomized study comparing a treatment with 1,1 GBq (30 mCi) of radioactive iodine treatment to follow-up without ablation. In patients with persistent disease, positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET/CT) is a key examination used for its diagnostic and prognostic value. Foci of FDG uptake can localize residual disease, especially when it does not take up radioactive iodine. In patients in whom the site of recurrence remains unknown after a neck ultrasonography PET/CT with FDG is more sensitive than a post-therapeutic whole body scan performed after the administration of a high activity of radioactive iodine (empiric iodine) and should be considered as the first examination to perform. Injections of rhTSH before doing FDG PET/CT allow to increase the number of lesions detected, however the treatment changes linked to this preparation remains minor. The role of FDG PET/CT in the selection of patients to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and to assess metabolic tumor response remains to be explored. The use of TKI to reinduce radioactive iodine uptake is a major research subject for patients with radioactive iodine refractory disease

Full textIn a Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) accident occurring to a pressurised nuclear water reactor, a fraction of the radioactive species present in the primary circuit is likely to be transferred to the environment. Particular attention is paid to iodine for two reasons; the first one it is well known that iodine is a high contributor to the dose at short term and in second, due to possible formation of volatile species, which could be largely sprayed in the environment. In normal operating conditions, the primary circuit is contaminated with some radioactive products flowing through micro-cracks existing in the fuel rod claddings. To better estimate the releases for SGTR sequence, it is crucial to determine the iodine partition between the gas and the liquid phase downstream the tube break as well as the droplet size distribution generated during the flashing. The first part of the PhD presents a heat and mass transfer model developed to predict the two-phase jet behaviour at the break. The steam fraction is calculated as well as the droplet size distribution upstream the break. Experiments available in the literature (tests conducted at the U.S/NRC and INERIS) are used to validate the model. The second part concerns the modelling of the iodine chemical speciation in the primary conditions (irradiation, low concentration and presence of impurities). For each iodine species, the partition coefficient has been determined either in using literature data or with the help of molecular dynamics computations. Last, this global release modelling has been implemented in ASTEC, the IRSN accident simulation software and the releases have been calculated for one SGTR scenario

Full textThe use of nuclear energy obviously raises the question of the presence of radionuclides in the environment. Currently, their mitigation is a major issue associated with nuclear chemistry. This thesis focuses on both the trapping of radionuclides by porous solids called Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF) and the crystal chemistry of the carboxylate of tetravalent actinides (AnIV). The academic knowledge of the reactivity of carboxylate of AnIV could help the understanding of actinides speciation in environment. We focused on the sequestration of iodine by aluminum based MOF. The functionalization (electron-donor group) of the MOF drastically enhances the iodine capture capacity. The removal of light actinides (Th and U) from aqueous solution was also investigated as well as the stability of (Al)-MOF under γ radiation. More than twenty coordination polymers based on tetravalent actinides have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The use of controlled hydrolysis promotes the formation of coordination polymers exhibiting polynuclear cluster ([U4], [Th6], [U6] and [U38]). In order to understand the formation of the largest cluster, the ex-situ study of the solvothermale synthesis of compound {U38} has also been investigated

Full textIodine 129 is a radioactive waste coming from the nuclear industry, which is currently handled by isotopic dilution. As a part of the assessment of alternative solutions, this work focuses on the study of the feasibility of iodine conditioning using a glass matrix aiming at a long-term storage in a geological repository. Silver phosphate glasses, which can incorporate high amounts of iodine and can be synthesized at low temperature, were chosen for this study. In order to increase their chemical durability, theses glasses were crosslinked by niobium and bismuth oxides. Phospho-molybdenum glasses, crosslinked by niobium, were also synthesized. Niobium and bismuth incorporation limits were determined for an iodine amount of 12 wt% and range from 1.6 mol% to 4.0 mol%, depending on the Ag2O/P2O5 ratio and the amount of MoO3. Structural investigations show that the introduction of those crosslinking reagents induces a significant increase of the polymerization degree of the glasses. Despite this higher connectivity, the two crosslinking reagents have a low impact on the thermal properties of iodine-containing silver phosphate glasses, as well as on their resistance to alteration in aqueous medium. However, phospho-molybdenum glasses containing iodine and crosslinked by niobium display an increase of their glass transition temperature and of their chemical durability. Indeed, the alteration rate decreases from a factor 100 for a phospo-molybdenum glass containing 4.0 mol% of Nb2O5 in comparison to a pure phosphate glass, with the apparition of a residual alteration regime. In clay-equilibrated water, however, this tendency is not verified

Full textUnder the context of geological disposal of French high-level nuclear waste, glass vapor hydration is expected to occur prior to liquid alteration. A poorly understood phenomenon, hydration of nuclear glass in the unsaturated vapor phase as well as under radiations may eventually affect its chemical durability in the aqueous phase. This study investigates firstly the releases of boron (as a tracer of glass alteration) and iodine (as a problematic radionuclide for disposal safety) during glass vapor hydration and subsequent leaching tests. Glass samples of different surface states were hydrated and characterized by a wide range of techniques. The results show the preferential release of boron in the form of BO 3, revealing the important role of boron incontrolling the kinetics of glass vapor hydration. Discussions linking the modifications in mechanical properties and in chemical durability shed light on the understanding of the mechanisms of boron release,comprising the processes of hydrolysis, diffusion, and evaporation. Great retention of iodine in the hydrated layer and during subsequent leaching suggests the transport-limiting effect of the hydrated layer. Effect of alpha and gamma radiations were studied by irradiating the pre-hydrated glass samples or by hydrating the samples in the presence of gamma rays. No significant effect of radiation on the chemical durability of hydrated glass was demonstrated. Supplementary work aimed at generating a possible acceleration of the hydration of the glass in the presence of secondary phases has been carried out. The method developed in this study paves the way to a more general study on the effect of environmental materials on the alteration of glass in the vapor phase

Full textThe radiotoxic isotopes of iodine and ruthenium, such as 129I, 131I, 103Ru and 106Ru, are produced in significant quantities during nuclear fission. After a nuclear accident, these elements can be rapidly disseminated in the environment, in the form of highly volatile species such as molecular iodine (I2) or ruthenium tetroxide (RuO4). In order to limit the dispersion of these fission products, in case of a nuclear accident, filters composed by porous materials (zeolites or activated carbon) can be used. However, such porous solids have limitations during a nuclear accident. Indeed, the presence of poisonous species (for example NOx, H2O, COx) can ihhibit the capture of radiotoxic species. In addition, their relatively low porosity is often not suitable for the good trapping of large species such as RuO4. Based on these limitations, a recent class of porous materials called Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) could be an effective substitute. Indeed, MOFs are hybrid materials, composed of inorganic clusters linked to each other by organic ligands. This low-density organization allows high porosity and high specific surface areas (up to 7000 m2.g-1), significantly higher than those of the usual porous solids. Although MOFs have already shown good capacities for capturing radioactive species, very little data exist on their effectiveness for trapping gaseous species (especially RuO4) and under accident conditions.In order to strengthen our knowledge of MOFs for potential use in nuclear safety, this thesis work focused on the effectiveness of some model MOFs for the capture of volatile I2 and RuO4 under accident conditions. We have highlighted the importance of the organic linker functionalization and confinement of iodine in the porous matrix. Thus, iodine creates a strong interaction with the framework of MOFs to form other iodine species of type Ix-. This transformation was notably analyzed by RAMAN spectroscopy.Following this first study, we selected the compound UiO-66_NH2 as reference filtration material to be tested in an IRSN facility called EPICUR. This one allows the manipulation of radioactive iodine (isotope-131) and the study of the confinement of iodine in within the porous framework in accidental conditions (radiation, temperature, steam). This work needs, upstream, to develop a shaping process in order to produce a MOF material with a spherical millimeter particle size. In parallel, an investigation on the resistance of this material under gamma irradiation was also undertaken in IRMA facility at IRSN. This study confirmed the excellent capacity of the solid UiO-66_NH2 in the present context. Finally, UiO-66_NH2 was also the candidate of choice for the capture of gaseous RuO4. The various analyzes (TEM, NMR) made it possible to quantify the RuO4 within the pores and to propose reaction mechanisms explaining its very good capture in UiO-66_NH2

Full textIodine and cesium radio nuclides constitute important fission products (FP) of 235U. If the volatile forms (gas, aerosol) of FP would be released into the environment during a hypothetical severe accident of pressurized water reactor (PWR), a potential health hazard would be the ensue. Understanding their behaviors is an important prerequisite for planning appropriate mitigation measures. Severe reactor accident simulations are conducted in several tests of the international PHEBUS-FP program. The suspected connection existing between FP such as Cs, Mo and I, hydrothermal chemistry and its role on the iodine speciation in the primary circuit of reactor coolant system are highlighted. An experimental setup was developed to study the chemical behavior of CsI/MoO3 mixtures at 1600°C under steam and then during the steam cooling to 150 °C. These hydrothermal conditions are representative of the primary circuit of PWR. The analyses using ICP-MS, powder XRD, MEBE-EDX and Raman microspectrometry identify submicrometric aerosol particles as CsI, MoO3.xH2O and Cs2MonO3n+1 (n=1, 2, 3, 5, 7) according to the starting CsI/MoO3 ratio. The formation of Cs2MonO3n+1 induces the generation of gaseous iodine. This later result is in agreement with PHEBUS-FP experiments. The simulations of vapor phase chemistry and aerosol phenomena of the {I, Cs, Mo, O, H} system in the experimental setup were carried out using the SOPHAEROS code based on the thermodynamic chemical equilibriums. Some discrepancies were observed between experimental and simulated results, particularly for Mo rich particles and the volatile iodine species release

Full textIn the context of the Generation IV initiative, the consequences of a severe-accident (SA) in a sodium-cooled fast reactor must be studied. A SFR (Sodium cooled Fast Reactor) severe accident involves the disruption of the core by super-criticality involving the destruction of a certain number of fuel assemblies. Subsequently the interaction between hot fuel and liquid sodium can lead to a vapor explosion which could create a breach in the primary system. Some contaminated liquid sodium would thus be ejected into the containment building. In this situation, the evaluation of potential releases to the environment (the source term) must forecast the quantity and the chemical speciation of the radiocontaminants likely to be released from the containment building

Full textThe most signifîcant impact of the Chernobyl accident is the increased incidence of thyroid cancers among children living in contaminated areas. To estimate the radiation dose provided by radioiodine released after Chernobyl (iodine 131 and short-lived isotopes, iodine 132, 133, 134, 135), we used new-born rats to mimic the situation of fallout contamination (young age and iodine deficiency). The pups, under low iodine diet and under standard diet, were contaminated with 129I at ages varying between 2 to 15 days and sacrificed 1, 4, 8, 24 hours and 4, 8 days after contamination. The variation in intra colloidal iodine distribution from 1 hour to 8 days was performed using a new ionic nanoprobe (NanoSIMS50). This method permits to discriminate between the newly incorporated iodine (129) and the initial pool of iodine (127I). SIMS observations permit to initiate a microdosimetric study using a Monte Carlo simulation. Our results show a heterogeneous intra and interfollicular distribution of 129I. Iodine deficiency increases the absorbed amounts of iodine by a factor 10. Dosimetric estimates show an important contribution of short-lived radioiodine to the total thyrocyte dose. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that the age and the iodine deficiency accelerate the absorption of iodine in follicles and that the contribution of short-lived iodine connate be neglected

Full textIn case of a severe nuclear accident on a Pressurized Water Reactor, radioactive fission products can be released in the environment and represent a hazard for the human. In order to better predict the progress of the accident and the release of fission products with the use of dedicated simulation tools, the knowledge of all physicochemical phenomena is necessary. This research is focused on the re-vaporisation, up to 750°C, of iodine-containing fission products’ deposits, particularly CsI and AgI, from the surface of the primary circuit, composed of partially oxidized 304L, 316L steels and Inconel 600 alloy. The results have revealed a strong influence of the re-vaporisation atmosphere composition on the quantities and the chemical species nature of re-vaporized caesium and iodine. In steam atmosphere, iodine and caesium are released integrally from the surface, mainly as CsI. In presence of air, iodine is released integrally, mainly as I2(g), whereas caesium is partially retained on the surface of the steel as caesium chromate, resulting from the interaction between caesium and chromium (III) oxide present in the oxide layer. The use of an online optical spectroscopic technique such as IBB-CEAS allowed to follow the I2(g) re-vaporisation kinetics. The latter exhibits two release peaks, suggesting several mechanisms leading to I2(g) formation. A similar result has been observed during the re-vaporisation of AgI in presence of air. Finally, thermodynamic equilibrium computations have been performed in order to identify the main reaction pathways leading to the formation of gaseous molecular iodine in presence of air

This research is focused on the re-vaporisation, up to 750°C, of iodine-containing fission products’ deposits, particularly CsI and AgI, from the surface of the primary circuit, composed of partially oxidized 304L, 316L steels and Inconel 600 alloy. The results have revealed a strong influence of the re-vaporisation atmosphere composition on the quantities and the chemical species nature of re-vaporized caesium and iodine. In steam atmosphere, iodine and caesium are released integrally from the surface, mainly as CsI. In presence of air, iodine is released integrally, mainly as I2(g), whereas caesium is partially retained on the surface of the steel as caesium chromate, resulting from the interaction between caesium and chromium (III) oxide present in the oxide layer. The use of an online optical spectroscopic technique such as IBB-CEAS allowed to follow the I2(g) re-vaporisation kinetics. The latter exhibits two release peaks, suggesting several mechanisms leading to I2(g) formation. A similar result has been observed during the re-vaporisation of AgI in presence of air. Finally, thermodynamic equilibrium computations have been performed in order to identify the main reaction pathways leading to the formation of gaseous molecular iodine in presence of air

Full textThe use of nuclear energy obviously raises the question of the presence of radionuclides in the environment. Currently, their mitigation is a major issue associated with nuclear chemistry. This thesis focuses on both the trapping of radionuclides by porous solids called Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF) and the crystal chemistry of the carboxylate of tetravalent actinides (AnIV). The academic knowledge of the reactivity of carboxylate of AnIV could help the understanding of actinides speciation in environment. We focused on the sequestration of iodine by aluminum based MOF. The functionalization (electron-donor group) of the MOF drastically enhances the iodine capture capacity. The removal of light actinides (Th and U) from aqueous solution was also investigated as well as the stability of (Al)-MOF under γ radiation. More than twenty coordination polymers based on tetravalent actinides have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The use of controlled hydrolysis promotes the formation of coordination polymers exhibiting polynuclear cluster ([U4], [Th6], [U6] and [U38]). In order to understand the formation of the largest cluster, the ex-situ study of the solvothermale synthesis of compound {U38} has also been investigated

Full textLabeling of (bio)molecules with radioactive isotopes is of high interest to for the scientific commu-nity, as it strongly impacts the discovery process in life science and nuclear medicine. Radiolabeled molecules have been extensively used to assess biochemical reactions, to measure in vivo distribution of a substance or to preform RIA (RadioImmunoAssay). In nuclear medicine, radio-therapeutics for RIT (RadioIsotope Therapy) and radio-tracers for molecular imaging experiments such as PET (Positron Emission Tomography), SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) or scintigraphy have been described. Several useful isotopes of iodine can be used for both diagnosis and therapy: 123I for SPECT imaging, 124I for PET imaging, 125I for biological assays and 131I for radio-therapy and scintig-raphy.Classical methods of radioiodination methods use a prefunctionalized precursor, which must be syn-thesized, isolated and purified before being introduced to the radio-iodination step. The radioiodode-stannylation method is the most popular method, although stannylated precursors are known for their difficult synthesis and their toxicity. The development of new methods of radioiodination is therefore of great interest in the field of radiochemistry.Based on a previous work, our group has developed a method to radio-iodinate N-acylsulfonamides through a room temperature palladium mediated C-H radio-iodination. This original strategy allows radiolabeling of biomolecules in very mild conditions without the use of chemical precursors.Based on literature, our group is now developping a new method to radio-iodinate arylsilyl derivates through radioiododesilylation in mild conditions. This general methodology allows for the moment the radiolabeling of activated arylsilyl derivates in mild conditions

Full textIn order to improve the prediction of possible delayed radioactive releases during a SA of a PWR, remobilization phenomena of Fission Product (FP) deposited in the Reactor Cooling System (RCS) have been investigated. These phenomena induce a modification of the FP state to gaseous species or aerosols suspended in the gas flow contributing to these delayed releases. This work, within the OECD ESTER project, is focusing on the revaporization of Cs and I as main contributors to radiological consequences. In addition, tellurium (Te) which may be a source of I by radioactive decay is also studied. To do so, two complementary methodologies are used:- Revaporization experiments aim at assessing the revaporization rate of each studied element, at identifying the revaporized species, and finally at characterizing the remaining solid species.- Thermodynamic simulations aim at defining the main revaporization reactions and the airborne species.Different simulants for FP deposits in the RCS were considered: CsI, CsOH, CdI2, H2TeO4 TeO2. Thanks to the ATMIRE experimental setup covering a large range of temperatures (from 200 to 600 °C), a large range of air partial pressures (from 4.5.10-4 to 0.5 atm) complemented by steam boron vapors in the carrier gas, revaporization behaviors of Cs, I, Cd and Te were characterized. The samples were characterized thanks to combined chemical and surface analyses such as ICP-MS, XPS, and ToF-SIMS. Thanks to these techniques, identification and quantification of both gaseous and solid species formed throughout the tests were possible. Then experimental results were compared to thermodynamic calculations to confirm the main revaporization paths of each FP simulant.Above 400 °C, the CsI revaporization result in both CsI vaporization and decomposition under an air/steam atmosphere. CsI decomposition leads to the formation of gaseous iodine (HOI, I, or I2) and Cs species such as CsOH and CsNO3 as well as Cs2CrO4 (due to Cs interaction with oxidized SS) or CsBO2 (by interaction with boron in the revaporization atmosphere).Under steam/air atmosphere, CdI2 is totally decomposed above 200 °C leading to the formation of gaseous I (mainly I2) and Cd (such as CdO or Cd(OH)2).Finally, at high temperatures (above 400 °C), H2TeO4 is reduced and dehydrated to form TeO2 whatever the proportion of air (from 4.5.10-4 atm to 1 atm). For TeO2, revaporization is not influenced by Pair but is strongly increased in presence of CsOH with the formation of Cs-Te-O species (such as Cs2TeO3 or Cs2TeO4)

Full textAs part of a major nuclear accident, the products resulting from the degradation of the control rods are likely to influence the transport of iodine in the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) of a pressurized water reactor as evidenced by the results of the Phebus-FP program. Three experimental Phebus-FP tests (FPT0, FPT1, and FPT2) were performed with Silver-Indium-Cadmium (AIC) control rods whereas in FPT3 test, the control rod is boron carbide (B4C). For FPT3, a much larger fraction of gaseous iodine was observed at the RCS break. It is suspected that the CsI (caesium iodide) formation has been restricted due to CsxByOz (especially caesium metaborate CsBO2) formation. The PhD results allow us to consolidate thermochemical data on cesium borates, which are poorly known in the literature, and to get first kinetic data for reactions leading to the formation of CsBO2 (CsI + H3BO3 CsBO2 + HI + H2O and CsOH + H3BO3 CsBO2 + 2 H2O). In order to estimate these thermokinetic parameters, theoretical chemistry tools were used, with the help of statistical thermodynamics and appropriate kinetic theories ; a special care was dedicated to the validation of the applied methodologies. All data have been implemented in the severe accident simulation software ASTEC (Accident Source Term Evaluation Code) and allow us reconciling the simulation results with experimental data concerning gaseous iodine at the break for FPT3 test

Full textDuring a severe accident occurring to a pressurized nuclear water reactor, radiological consequences are related to the transport and deposition of radionuclides released into the environment. Following the Fukushima Daiichi accident, significant differences between measurements and simulations were observed for iodine deposition. It could notably be explained by the absence of any iodine chemistry in the IRSN dispersion codes. To address this, a mechanism of atmospheric iodine chemistry involving 257 reactions was developed from a critical review of the literature. In parallel, missing thermokinetic data were determined by molecular-scale simulations for the X + H2O2 (X = Br, I) and OH + CH2IOH reactions. 0D and 3D simulations were performed using ASTEC and Polair3D after an injection of either I2 or CH3I. The results showed a partial and rapid transformation of these iodinated gaseous compounds. The influence of several parameters (air quality, quantity and nature of iodine released) on iodine speciation was evaluated. For all simulations, iodine is quickly found in the form of iodine oxides and nitroxides or gaseous iodocarbon compounds. The latter may be the cause of iodinated aerosols formation and deposition

Full textIodine 129 is a long-lived intermediate level radioactive waste, which is currently managed by isotopic dilution. In view of an alternative management by geological disposal, we aimed at developing phosphate glasses of the AgI-Ag2O-P2O5-Al2O3 system, elaborated at low temperature and without iodine volatilization. Alumina is expected to induce crosslinking of the phosphate network and thus to improve the thermal and chemical properties. To define a glass composition that meets the specifications, we varied the level of iodine, the Ag2O/P2O5 ratio and alumina content. For 1 g.cm-3 of iodine, SEM-EDS observations indicate that alumina solubility is limited to 0.5% mol., independently of Ag2O/P2O5 ratio. The structural study by 31P 27Al and 109Ag MAS NMR, shows that aluminum adopts an octahedral coordination that effectively contributes to the crosslinking of the glassy network and iodine is incorporated without clustering. 31P-27Al NMR correlations confirmed the presence of an aluminophosphate network, and 31P-31P correlations indicate that iodine does not change the connectivity of the glass network. The glass composition 28,8AgI-44,2Ag2O-26,5P2O5-0,5Al2O3 presents the best compromise between the level of incorporation of iodine and the chemical durability, has a glass transition temperature of 123 ° C and an initial alteration rate in pure water at 50 ° C of 6 gm-2.d-1. The long-term behavior of this glass is controlled by a post-alteration structure based on pyrophosphate, which holds nearly 80% of the initial iodine

Full textIn the context of the Generation IV initiative, the consequences of a severe-accident (SA) in a sodium-cooled fast reactor must be studied. A SFR (Sodium cooled Fast Reactor) severe accident involves the disruption of the core by super-criticality involving the destruction of a certain number of fuel assemblies. Subsequently the interaction between hot fuel and liquid sodium can lead to a vapor explosion which could create a breach in the primary system. Some contaminated liquid sodium would thus be ejected into the containment building. In this situation, the evaluation of potential releases to the environment (the source term) must forecast the quantity and the chemical speciation of the radiocontaminants likely to be released from the containment building

Full textWithin the framework of the research in the nuclear reactor safety field, the iodine oxides formation by organic iodides destruction in the containment has been studied with the means of the atmospheric chemistry field. The destruction kinetics and their activation energy of organic iodides by OH and O radical has been quantified by a Flash Photolysis system able to monitor the oxidant radicals by resonance fluorescence. Those results have been published and some of them for the first time in the literature. The mechanisms leading to the organic iodides destruction are either by a hydrogen atom abstraction, either by the formation of a complex, depending on the organic iodide involved. Then, certain kinetics reactions have been updated in the IODAIR code. Other reactions have been added based on the recent literature available. A comparison of the kinetics destruction of CH3I by OH and O with IODAIR and the global kinetics of destruction in ASTEC/IODE showed a difference of about 2 which shows the importance of these two radicals (and mainly O) in those destruction processes. The other main path of destruction would be by electron radiation. Other radicals like H and N would not contribute significantly to organic iodides destruction. A sensitivity analysis highlighted that organic iodides would mostly be destroyed into iodine oxides with a almost complete conversion within a few hours. Finally, an atmospheric chamber has been used to quantify iodine oxides growth, density and composition. Under the conditions studied, their formation is fast. Particles sizes of about 200- 400 nm are formed within a few hours

Full textA severe nuclear accident (as Fukushima) may induce dramatic consequences in terms of radiological releases into the environment. The combination of current filtration devices (such as aqueous scrubbers and sand bed filters) with an additional filtration stage made of inorganic porous adsorbent (zeolite) constitute a promising solution in order to avoid the release of radioactive iodine species. The present study aims to establish some correlations between chemical and structural parameters of porous adsorbents mainly silver-zeolites, on the one hand, and adsorption properties towards I2 and CH3I on the other hand. The role played by various zeolitic parameters was assessed by combining adsorption data in gaseous phase (adsorption capacity, decontamination factors, trapping stability) together with physico-chemical data obtained from characterization studies (XRD, ATR/IR, DRIFTS of adsorbed CO, SEM, TEM and DR-UV-Vis). Then, the effect of adsorption temperatures, potential inhibitors and irradiation was also discussed for the most interesting adsorbents in order to extrapolate to severe accidental conditions. The trapping mechanism was also investigated using in-situ spectroscopic accessories as well as theoretical calculations by DFT. It was shown that CH3I adsorption capacities are mainly dependent on the amount of silver that could be deposited in dispersed form (as Ag+, and small clusters) within the internal framework, as well as structural parameters such as pore size. On the other hand, a specific methodology was applied in order to quantify the different forms of stored iodine and therefore to better assess the influence of structural parameters on the trapping thermal stability. It was found that the trapping stability is mainly dependent on silver exchange level and on the nature of zeolitic structure. For the first time, the combination of several spectroscopic techniques was also implemented. On the one hand, in situ Diffuse Reflectance UV-Vis Spectroscopy (DRS-UV-Vis) was employed in order to monitor the evolution of silver species during exposure to gaseous methyl iodide. On the other hand, the time- and temperature-evolution of organic species was investigated using in situ Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transformed Spectroscopy (DRIFTS) combined with gas-phase reactor measurements. The first step is the dissociation of some CH3I molecules, which is catalyzed by the acidic and silver sites of the zeolite. The dissociated I is then captured by silver to form molecular and clustered AgI entities within the zeolite supercages, which can coalesce and sinter on the external surface upon prolonged exposure to humidity to form silver iodide precipitates (detected by XRD). On the other hand, the carbonaceous part of the CH3I molecules undergo successive catalytic transformations at medium temperatures with zeolite active sites, to yield different by-products (MeOH, DME, higher alkanes, alkenes…). Among all the investigated sorbents for iodine species retention, Ag/Y zeolites have displayed the best retention performances. Promising results were also found in the presence of inhibitors, under irradiation and for low concentrations. The obtained results allow to consider using some of the tested formulations for a nuclear severe accident application, but also to give insights about the behavior of other new adsorbents (Metal Organic Framework MOF and silver-impregnated or functionalized mesoporous silica)
