Dear Jocelyn:
This letter discusses my latest calculations of molecular iodine (I3) and organic iodide (CH I) scrubbing during the TC1 sequence from the draf t Peach Bottom rep $rt.
SPARC-12 was upgraded to include 1 mass transfer resistance in the 7
liquid phase and to include appropriate liquid-gas phase interface equilibria. A rigorous model for CH 1 scrubbing was also added. The 3
calculations were made with this upgraded version.
The enclosed figure 1 shows the results of the calculations. The topmost curve is the instantaneous DF for 1 where the Cs0H was allowed 9
to enter the pool concurrently with the 1 as specified by BCL. The 7
middle curve shows the DF for 1 where the Cs0H was not allowed into the 9
pool. The bottom curve is for CH 1, which exhibits very poor scrubbing 2
in hot pools.
The corresponding time / flow integrated DFs (total iodine flow into pool / total iodine flow out of pool) were 4.9E+10, 280, and 1.1, respectively.
The pool pH and pool 1 inventory are the most important parameters in 7
controlling 1 DF. The following table contrasts the pool pH during the 7
period of fission product iodine flow into the pool for the two cases.
Note that a neutral pool at 100'C has a pH = 6.15.

Jocelyn Mitchell Page 2 January 15, 1986 As pool 1 inventory increases, the I,igure 1DF generally decreases, if pH 7
changes are low.
This is evident in F It is also possible that 1
if incoming gas has a very low 1 concentration, then the pool I., can be 7
stripped and re-enter the gas phase. This might be possible in home sequences.
At this time I will wait for your or Chuck Nilsen's request for more iodine scrubbing calculations, if needed.
Sincerely yours, d
