  • OXIDATION OF CESIUM AS METHOD FOR REMOVING CESIUM VAPOR FROM COVER GAS IN NUCLEAR REACTORS
    Publication number: 20240017212
    Abstract: A method of removing cesium vapor from a cover gas stream in a nuclear reactor includes the steps of oxidizing the cesium vapor in the cover gas stream to yield cesium oxide particles and removing the cesium oxide particles using a particle filter. The method yields a filtered cover gas having zero to about 2% of the cesium vapor content of the initial cover gas stream, representing a reduction of at least about 98 percent.
