This is an extremely unlucky nuclear event, and will lead to very serious influences on the global nuclear programs including the educational programs on the field of nuclear science and technology. First, this will create good and new materials for anti-nuclear lobbies and they will use this opportunity for oppressing the political authorities to abandon governmental nuclear power programs. Of course, similar results were envisaged after Chernobyl, and only 25 years later, these could slightly be eliminated by the public; but, it seems that the elimination of the results of this second catastrophe will be much more difficult than they were for Chernobyl. Briefly, it can be concluded that the Fukushima catastrophe in Japan will support the concept of nuclear renaissance, which has been the heart of discussions on the scientific platform for several years. The basic principles of the concept of nuclear renaissance can be summarized as follows: 1) Nuclear energy production systems should eventually be non-proliferative of nuclear weapons, 2) Minimized long-lived wastes resulting from fuel cycle, 3) Good accordance with the environmentalist concepts, and so, easily accepted by the people. Now, the application of new safer technologies for construction of nuclear power plants should also be included into these basic principles of nuclear renaissance. In this contribution, the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe and its probable scientific, technological, social influences, and the global learnings will be criticized, and the precautions in the field of nuclear education will be proposed. 1 3rd-INCC / Book of abstracts Session 10 / 1 Conversion of I2 in ionic forms on the composite materials "Fizkhimin"TM in water coolant at nuclear power plants Prof. KULYUKHIN, Sergey 1; MIZINA, Lubov' 1; Dr. KONOVALOVA, Natalya 1; RUMER, Igor' 1; KRASAVINA, Elena 1; LEVUSHKIN, Dmitrii 1 1 Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry RAS Corresponding Author: [email protected] It is known that the activity of radioactive iodine in the water coolant increases dramatically during the shutdown of reactors on the Russian working WWER- or RBMK-type NPPs. For example, the radioactivity of 131I in the water coolant increased 30 to 200 times during the shutdown of the reactor on the RBMK-type NPP such as the Leningrad and Smolensk NPPs. One of the reasons of this activity rise is that during the shutdown of a reactor the temperature of the fuel inside the fuel elements drops, which results in the reduction of the fuel volume and the appearance of free space inside the fuel elements. Simultaneously, water from the coolant penetrates into the fuel elements through defects in the fuel cladding and dissolves radioactive iodine and caesium accumulated in the gap between the fuel and cladding during normal operation of NPP. The dissolved radioactive iodine and caesium go as ions to the water coolant. Due to different redox reactions in a water coolant radioactive iodine can be present as ionic (I-, IO3-) and molecular (I2) species. Furthermore, the radiation-induced destruction of the ion-exchange resins can lead to the formation of organic species (such as CH3I) in a water coolant. At the same time the content of radioactive iodine in the gas phase increases by more than an order of magnitude, because molecular and organic forms of radioactive iodine make a major contribution to the pollution of the gas phase since their factors of distribution between the water and gas phases are several orders of magnitude higher than those for ionic forms. We suggest that an analogous increase in the radioactive iodine content in the water coolant and gas phase during the shutdown can occur also in the currently working and new developed NPPs using a water coolant. To decrease the radionuclide content in the water coolant, cation- and anion-exchange resins are usually used during a normal operation of NPPs. For example, cation-exchange resin KU-2 and anion-exchange resin AV-18 were used on the Russian NPPs for coolant decontamination. However, anion-exchange resins can absorb effectively only ionic forms of radioactive iodine and possibly I2 as anion I3-. We studied the sorption of CH3131I and I2 on an AV-18 ion-exchange resin from the water coolant which takes places on the some of the Russian WWER-type NPPs. It was found that the AV-18 anion-exchange resin can absorbs I2 and CH3131I from the solution. After 2 h of contact between liquid and solid phases, I2 absorption was about 70%, whereas the CH3131I absorption was only about 30.0%. Anion-exchange resin AV-18 effectively absorbs I2 (more than 99%) from this water coolant of a WWER-type NPP only after 24 h of contact between the liquid phase and the resin. In this case the distribution factors Кd for I2 were higher than 103 cm3/g, whereas the distribution factors Кd for CH3131I were lower than 200 cm3/g. Because of a low rate of sorption of I2 and CH3I the anion-exchanged resin AV-18 could not effectively and quickly localize these forms of radioactive iodine from the water coolant. These findings made it apparent that a new more effective material to absorb molecular and organic iodine from water solutions was required, and it was desirable to employ materials used in working NPPs to coolant decontamination. In our experiments, we used ion-exchange resin KU-2, which we modified to obtain sorptive materials. The materials IPCE-C1 and IPCE-C2 with about 8.0 and 5.5 wt.% of Cu), and also IPCE-CS with about 10.1 wt.% of Cu and Ag were obtained and used for our bath experiments. For these materials, we studied sorption of different forms of radioactive iodine (131I-, 131IО3-, CH3131I) and I2 from water coolant which takes places on the some of the Russian WWER-type NPPs.. Preliminary experiments showed that the non-modified cation-exchange resin KU-2 has a low sorption capacity for CH3131I and I2 in the studied solution: the distribution factors are not higher than 5.0 cm3/g at V/m = 100. At the same time under similar experimental conditions the distribution factors Кd for I2 for all developed materials are higher than 103 cm3/g. The distribution factors Кd for ionic forms change from 20.0 to 150 cm3/g, whereas for the organic form, they are not more than 11.0 cm3/g. As follows from the data on I2 sorption kinetics on our developed materials and anion-exchanged resin AV-18, during 15 min of contact between the solid and liquid phase practically full I2 absorption (more than 99.0%) takes place on the modified resin KU-2 vs. 50% on the resin AV-18. As above-mentioned, the 99% absorption of I2 on anion-exchange resin AV-18 can be achieved only after 24 h. Unfortunately, the developed materials 2
