The Research On The Gaseous ～(14)C Releasing Mechanism Of The Third Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant

Because of the CANDU6 NPP's characteristic, the gaseous ¹⁴C is one of the critical isotopes in the environment influence report of the Third Qinshan nuclear power plant. In the early operation of plant, the annual release amount of gaseous ¹⁴C was high than the other CANDU6 NPP. To reduce the annual release amount of gaseous ¹⁴C, the releasing mechanism of ¹⁴C was researched. In this papers, the production, transfer and release of gaseous ¹⁴C was discussed. According to the studies stated in the papers, the plant release of gaseous C-14 has been brought back to normal effectively.
