Joint NEA project performs high-burnup test
An article in the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency’s July news bulletin noted that a first test has been completed for the High Burnup Experiments in Reactivity Initiated Accident (HERA) project. The project aim is to understand the performance of light water reactor fuel at high burnup under reactivity-initiated accidents (RIA).

A kinetics study has been made of the chemical factors that affect the rate of absorption of CH3I by aqueous sprays. The results suggest that the addition of certain transition metal complexes which promote singlet to triplet electronic transitions in CH3I materially improve the latter’s absorption rate by standard borated water droplets.
