The present invention relates to a filtered containment venting system.
Reactor facility is provided with a filtered containment venting system in order to prevent radioactive materials, spewing from a reactor, from leaking to the environment. If pressure inside a containment abnormally increases by core damage due to a reactor accident, the containment is broken, leading to large-scale leakage, so that the filtered containment venting system is used to preliminarily vent steam inside the containment, to prevent the containment from being damaged due to overpressurization. When spewed from the reactor to the inside of the containment, high-temperature and high-pressure steam is passed into the filtered containment venting system to have major radioactive materials collected before being discharged into the air.
Radioactive materials spewed in the event of a reactor accident include noble gases, aerosols, inorganic iodine, and organic iodine. These radioactive materials except noble gases are trapped by the filtered containment venting system and prevented from being discharged to the environment. In general, the filtered containment venting system retains scrubbing water working as a wet filter and additionally has a fiber filter as a dry filter, inside a filtered containment venting tank, as described in Japanese Translation of PCT international Application Publication No. 2015-522161 A (hereinbelow, referred to as Patent Document 1).
Scrubbing water may sometimes have chemical solution added into the water and vented steam is discharged into the scrubbing water. By reaction with the chemical solution, ionized inorganic iodine (elemental iodine) and aerosols are dissolved into the scrubbing water, and collected therein. Additionally, a part of aerosols discharged through the scrubbing water to a gas phase adheres to or collides with, and then collected by, the fiber filter.
In contrast, organic iodine including methyl iodide is poorly-soluble in water and thus is not sufficiently collected even when introduced into pooled water in a pressure suppression chamber or the scrubbing water in the event of venting. In addition, organic iodine such as methyl iodide may newly produced by reaction of elemental iodine in exhaust process from the reactor. From these reasons, a filtered containment venting system is required that is capable of effectively collecting organic iodine. Japanese Patent Application Publication No, H07-209488 A (hereinbelow, referred to as Patent Document 2), for example, describes a filtered containment venting system provided, on a vent path in the filtered containment venting system, with a dry filter of silver zeolite or activated carbon for collecting organic iodine.
An organic-iodine remover such as silver zeolite and activated carbon likely has collecting efficiency reduced when water is adhered thereto, so that a mechanism to remove water is required if there is a concern about effect of water, to complicate a structure of the filtered containment venting system. In addition, such an organic-iodine remover is solid and requires specialized device design or a complicated device structure, as in Patent Document 2.
A technique to resolve the problems is disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 6628313 B2 (hereinbelow, referred to as Patent Document 3), for example. Patent Document 3 describes providing ionic liquid, as non-volatile liquid (organic-iodine remover) for collecting organic iodine, in a filtered containment venting tank of a filtered containment venting system. The invention of Patent Document 3 uses this organic-iodine remover to trap radioactive materials, except noble gases, only with the filtered containment venting tank, without any complicated device structure, to prevent the radioactive materials from being discharged to the environment
A conventional filtered containment venting system reduces and removes inorganic iodine through inclusion of compound (reductant) in scrubbing water to reduce and remove inorganic iodine, and physically removes aerosols (particles). The organic-iodine remover described in Patent Document 3 is more prevented from decomposition in scrubbing water with a lower pH value, under high-temperature and high-dose radiation in the event of venting.
In the event of venting, radioactive materials flows into the filtered containment venting tank to cause the organic-iodine remover and the scrubbing water including reductant to be exposed to high-temperature and high-dose radiation, to reduce a pH value of the scrubbing water. However, the scrubbing water with a pH value of 6.5 or less accelerates decomposition of the reductant. Additionally, the more a pH value is reduced, the less the scrubbing water collects inorganic iodine. Increasing an initial pH value for preventing such phenomena, on the other hand, accelerates decomposition of organic iodine remover (ionic liquid), to fail to retain performance of removing organic iodine at a high level.
The present invention has been devised in view of the above-described situation. The present invention is intended to provide a filtered containment venting system capable of preventing decomposition of organic iodine remover and decomposition of a compound to reduce and remove inorganic iodine under high-temperature and high-dose radiation.
A filtered containment venting system according to the present invention, solving the above-identified problems, includes a filtered containment venting tank having: an organic iodine remover for collecting organic iodine; scrubbing water for collecting inorganic iodine; and an alkalizing agent for adding an action of buffering a pH value to the scrubbing water.
The present invention provides a filtered containment venting system capable of preventing decomposition of organic iodine and decomposition of a compound to reduce and remove inorganic iodine under high-temperature and high-dose radiation. Objectives, configurations, and advantageous effects other than those described above are disclosed through embodiments to be described below.
Hereinbelow, filtered containment venting systems according to embodiments of the present invention are described in detail, with reference to the drawings as required. Note that substantially the same or similar components are denoted by the same reference sign and duplicate descriptions may be avoided in the following description of the embodiments.
The filtered containment venting system 30 according to the present embodiment includes a filtered containment venting tank 1, as shown in
The organic iodine remover 2 collects and removes organic iodine. The organic iodine remover 2 acts to dissolve and decompose organic iodine as a radioactive material, and retain organic iodine as iodide ion. Materials used as the organic iodine remover 2 is to be described below. The organic iodine remover 2 is hydrophobic and is not compatible with scrubbing water 13.
The scrubbing water 13 dissolves and collects inorganic iodine. Note that the filtered containment venting system 30 in
The alkalizing agent 3 adds an action of buffering a pH value to the scrubbing water 13. The alkalizing agent 3 is a compound to reduce and remove inorganic iodine, and causes the scrubbing water 13 to have an action of collecting inorganic iodine through inclusion of the agent in the scrubbing water 13. A compound used as the alkalizing agent 3 is described below.
The filtered containment venting system 30 includes: a dry well venting pipe 7 and a wet well venting pipe 8, which are coupled to the containment 33; and an inlet pipe 9, one end of which is coupled to the dry well venting pipe 7 and wet well venting pipe 8 and the other end of which is positioned down below within the filtered containment venting tank 1. The dry well venting pipe 7 is provided with a separation valve 5. The wet well venting pipe 8 is provided with a separation valve 6. Additionally, the filtered containment venting system 30 includes: a fiber filter 10 positioned up above within the filtered containment venting tank 1; and an outlet pipe 11, one end of which is positioned downstream of the fiber filter 10 or above the fiber filter 10 and the other end of which is coupled to an exhaust tube 12 outside of the filtered containment venting tank 1. The filtered containment venting tank 1 configured as described above is used to collect aerosols, inorganic iodine, and organic iodine as radioactive materials.
Even though there may be differences between output levels of individual plants and accident scenarios, it is evaluated that radioactive materials spewed in the event of an accident includes about 1 kg of organic iodine and about 20 kg of inorganic iodine at a severe accident accompanied with a fuel failure, such as the reactor pressure vessel 34 being damaged. It is evaluated that methyl iodide (CH3I) would primarily be spewed as organic iodine. It is also evaluated that molecular iodine (I2) would primarily be spewed as inorganic iodine.
Based on these, the present embodiment uses a material composed of a cation and an anion only, as the organic iodine remover 2 which is hydrophobic and has properties of collecting organic iodine. Used as the organic iodine remover 2 is liquid that is substantially involatile at a temperature of about 160° C. or less. Venting steam at a temperature in a range of about 100 to 160° C. is assumed in the event of a reactor accident. When the liquid working as a wet filter is involatile, liquid itself is prevented from being volatilized even if high-temperature and high-pressure gas is introduced in the event of venting. It is preferable that the organic iodine remover 2 is substantially involatile at a temperature of less than 200° C. The organic iodine remover 2 only needs to be liquid at a temperature in the event of venting and thus can be solid at a room temperature, but is preferably liquid. Additionally, the organic iodine remover 2 is preferably liquid (X+—Y−) composed of a combination of a cation (X+) and an anion (Y−) only. The organic iodine remover 2 as described above can have high performance of collecting organic iodine by way of a 3-stage (1: dissolution, 2: decomposition, and 3: retention) mechanism to be described below.
The alkalizing agent 3 can be solid or liquid under a room temperature and barometric pressure before venting as well as under high temperature and high pressure in the event of venting. Having the alkalizing agent 3 allows for preventing variation in pH value of the scrubbing water 13 under high-temperature irradiation within the filtered containment venting tank 1, to avoid the scrubbing water 13 from being extremely acidified (pH 4 or less, for example) or alkalified (pH 12.5 or more, for example). Accordingly, the organic iodine remover 2 is prevented from being decomposed throughout predominant venting, to have high performance of collecting organic iodine. Additionally, the alkalizing agent 3 acts to supply hydroxide ion (OH−) to the scrubbing water 13 and acts to buffer a pH value by interacting with an acid material such as a proton (H+) in the scrubbing water 13, to have high performance of collecting inorganic iodine.
Note that room temperature molten salt, ionic liquid, quaternary salt, surfactant, correlation transfer catalyst, or a mixture of these materials can be used, for example, as the organic iodine remover 2. Oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, borate, phosphate, organic salt, an Mg/Al-based layered compound, or mixtures of these materials can be used, for example, as the alkalizing agent 3.
As relatively high-temperature gas flows into the filtered containment venting tank 1 in the event of an accident, organic iodine and inorganic iodine are supposed to be gaseous. Collecting gaseous iodine uses diffusiophoresis, thermophoresis, Brownian diffusion, and convection of iodine within air bubbles in liquid. The present embodiment is configured to contact the organic iodine remover 2 and the scrubbing water 13 with gaseous iodine, so that the organic iodine remover 2 and the scrubbing water 13 are desirably configured to have air bubbles staying in the liquid (bubbles contact with the liquid) for a long time. The longer bubbles stay in (contact with) the liquid, the more organic iodine reacts to the organic iodine remover 2 and is removed. To implement this, the present embodiment may be configured with distributed pipes, such as a sparger, at the other end of the inlet pipe 9 positioned down below within the filtered containment venting tank 1, for example, to generate a lot of fine bubbles.
Next, a description is given of a principle of action of the filtered containment venting system 30 according to the first embodiment, with reference to
At this time, the alkalizing agent 3 within the filtered containment venting tank 1 adds an action of buffering a pH value to the scrubbing water 13, to prevent variation in pH value of the scrubbing water 13 to avoid the scrubbing water 13 from being extremely acidified (pH 4 or less, for example) or alkalified (pH 12.5 or more, for example). Accordingly, the filtered containment venting system 30 prevents the organic iodine remover 2, contacting the scrubbing water 13, from being decomposed throughout predominant venting. Additionally, the alkalizing agent 3 is a compound to reduce and remove inorganic iodine, and adds an action of collecting inorganic iodine to the scrubbing water 13, as described above. Organic iodine not collected in the scrubbing water 13 flows to the organic iodine remover 2, which is hydrophobic, and is decomposed into iodide ion and collected. Aerosols as radioactive materials other than iodine are also collected by the scrubbing water 13 within the filtered containment venting tank1. After iodine has been collected, gas passes through the fiber filter 10 and outlet pipe 11 and is discharged outside from the exhaust tube 12 in a state of radioactive materials having been sufficiently removed.
Inorganic iodine is collected, as indicated by the following formula, with radioactive inorganic iodine (I2) decomposed by at least one of the alkalizing agent 3 and scrubbing water 13 into radioactive iodide ion (I−) or iodate ion (IO3−) (2: decomposition, as described above). This hold true for a case with chemical solution 4 included, as described below.
3I2+6OH−5I−+IO3−+3H2O
Organic iodine is collected as indicated by the following formula, with radioactive organic iodine (RI) decomposed by the organic iodine remover 2 into radioactive iodide ion (I−). Note that “R” in the following formula indicates an organic material (hydrocarbon group) such as alkyl group (the same holds true hereinbelow).
X+—Y−+RIX+—Y−+I−+R+
Iodide ion is stabler in a liquid phase than organic iodine and interacts with a cation of the organic iodine remover 2 so as to be stably retained in a state of iodide ion. Accordingly, radioactive organic iodine is retained in a liquid phase and reliably prevented from leaking to the environment (3: retention, as described above). Only the organic iodine remover 2 can sufficiently collect organic iodine, but using the organic iodine remover 2 in conjunction with the alkalizing agent 3 prevents the organic iodine remover 2 from decomposition, to allow for keeping high performance of collecting organic iodine throughout venting.
A cation of the organic iodine remover 2 includes an organic cation such as phosphonium, sulfonium, ammonium, pyrrolidinium, piperidinium, and morpholinium. A cation of the organic iodine remover 2 only needs to have a cation structure of a phosphorus element, sulfur element, or nitrogen element, as a center, bonded with a substituent group such as mostly carbon. Preferably, the cation is mostly composed of a single-bonded carbon chain in order to retain high dissolvability of iodine, but may be partially cross-linked by double or triple bonds or oxygen elements. For example, methyl iodide as organic iodine does not dissolve in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethyl sulfonyl) amide and separates, but dissolves and mixes uniformly in trihexyl (tetradecyl) phosphonium bis (trifluoromethyl sulfonyl) amide, having the same anionic structure as, and different cationic structure from, the former amide. A methyl group or the like as a material having a carbon chain length of 1 decomposes and volatilizes at a high temperature of 160° C., so that a carbon chain length of 2 or more is preferable. For example, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide is known to have the methyl group of the cation desorbed at 160° C. to undergo autolysis. From this perspective, an organic cation with a long and bulky carbon chain can highly dissolve organic iodine (1: dissolution, as described above) and has higher heat resistance, to allow for collecting organic iodine with high efficiency, and is thus preferable.
An anion of the organic iodine remover 2 includes an inorganic anion such as H3C− with an anion charge on a carbon element, and an organic anion such as H2RC−, HR2C−, R3C−, NC−, and RCC−. An organic anion such as RS− with an anion charge on a sulfur element is also included. An inorganic anion such as N3−, H2N− with an anion charge on a nitrogen element and an organic anion such as HRN−, R2N− are also included. An organic anion such as RO−, RCO2−, RPO3−, RSO3−, RPO4−, R2PO2−, R3CO− with an anion charge on an oxygen element and an inorganic anion such as HO−, NO2−, FO3−, ClO3−, BrO3−, IO3−, FO4−, ClO4−, BrO4−, and IO4− are also included. An inorganic anion such as F−, Cl−, Br−, I−, F3−, Cl3−, Br3−, and I3− with an anion charge on an halogen element is also included. As an anion of the organic iodine remover 2, an ion with high nucleophilicity is preferred in terms of strong action of decomposing organic iodine, especially one whose charged element is present at an end except for a hydrogen element. For example, an anion molecule having a charged nitrogen element as a center and elements other than hydrogen elements, such as R2N− (R—N−—R), is less nucleophilic than H2N−, to have performance of decomposing iodide ion degraded. As an anion, H3C−, H2RC−, HR2C−, R3C−, NC−, RCC−, RS−, N3−, H2N−, HRN−, R2N−, RO−, RCO2−, RPO3−, RSO3−, RPO4−, R2PO2−, R3CO−, HO−, NO2−, FO3−, ClO3−, BrO3−, IO3−, FO4−, ClO4−, BrO4−, IO4−, F−, Cl−, Br−, I−, F3−, Cl3−, Br3−, I3−, or the like is preferable in terms of high nucleophilicity, less causing hydrolysis, and less changing a pH value of the scrubbing water 13 when introduced into the filtered containment venting tank 1. For collecting organic iodine with high performance, not only dissolving (1: dissolution, as described above) iodine by cations of the organic iodine remover 2, but also decomposing iodine through nucleophilic attack on iodine by anions are required. Examples of the organic iodine remover 2 include trihexyl (tetradecyl) phosphonium chloride.
A compound of the alkalizing agent 3 includes MgO, CaO, SrO, Mg(OH)2, Fe(OH)2, CaMg(CO3)2, Na2CO3, NaHCO3, Na2B4O7, Na2B10O16, Na2HPO4, KH2PO4, C8H5KO4, or Mg6Al2(OH)16CO3·mH2O. When the alkalizing agent 3 is a solid such as MgO, MgO reacts with H2O to form OH−, as shown in the following equation, so that a pH value increases but OH− reacts with H+ to decrease a pH value. The reaction between MgO and H2O reaches equilibrium at a pH value in a range of 10 to 11, having no more reaction between MgO and H2O, so that a pH value does not increase any further. Accordingly, a pH value of the scrubbing water 13 is prevented from being extremely alkalified (pH 12.5 or more).
MgO(s)+H2OMg2++2OH−
2OH−+2H−2H2O
A content of the alkalizing agent 3 is preferably 400 ppm or more relative to the scrubbing water 13. Alternatively, the alkalizing agent 3 may be pH buffer solution with the content of the alkalizing agent 3 being 400 ppm or more relative to the scrubbing water 13. Either one of these allows the filtered containment venting system 30 to prevent the organic iodine remover 2 and a compound for reducing and removing inorganic iodine from being decomposed, throughout predominant venting, to have high performance of collecting organic iodine and inorganic iodine.
Next, advantageous effects of the present embodiment are described. The filtered containment venting system 30 according to the first embodiment, as described above, includes the filtered containment venting tank 1, the dry well venting pipe 7 and wet well venting pipe 8 coupled to the containment 33, the inlet pipe 9 with one end coupled to the dry well venting pipe 7 and wet well venting pipe 8 and the other end introduced into the filtered containment venting tank 1, and the outlet pipe 11 coupled to the fiber filter 10. Additionally, the filtered containment venting system 30 includes the hydrophobic organic iodine remover 2 within the filtered containment venting tank 1, for collecting organic iodine. The filtered containment venting system 30 also includes the scrubbing water 13 within the filtered containment venting tank 1, for collecting inorganic iodine. The filtered containment venting system 30 further includes the alkalizing agent 3 to add an action of buffering a pH value to the scrubbing water 13. The alkalizing agent 3 prevents the organic iodine remover 2 from being decomposed and prevents, through the action of buffering a pH value, a compound for reducing and removing inorganic iodine contained in the scrubbing water 13 (including not only the alkalizing agent 3 itself but also the chemical solution 4 to be described below) from being decomposed. As described above, the filtered containment venting system 30 according to the first embodiment prevents the organic iodine remover 2 from being decomposed, to retain high performance of collecting organic iodine throughout predominant venting, with only having the organic iodine remover 2, the scrubbing water 13, and the alkalizing agent 3 within the filtered containment venting tank 1 (that is, without any dry filter of silver zeolite or activated carbon provided on a vent path in a filtered containment venting system, as with a conventional system). In addition, the filtered containment venting system 30 according to the first embodiment adds an action of collecting inorganic iodine to the scrubbing water 13 by the alkalizing agent 3 containing a compound for reducing and removing inorganic iodine, and prevents the compound from being decomposed. Further, the organic iodine remover 2 is a liquid containing at least one of room temperature molten salt, ionic liquid, surfactant, quaternary salt, and correlation transfer catalyst. Ionic liquid of these materials is commercialized for general industry. The point of these materials is being involatile and has sufficient heat resistance even under the condition of a temperature of about 200° C., as a temperature of gas flowing into the filtered containment venting system 30 in the event of an accident. Ionic liquid also has a property of collecting a substrate, such as a radioactive material, within the ionic liquid at a high concentration. Especially, as organic iodine is poorly soluble in water and highly volatile, ionic liquid can be used as leading non-volatile liquid for collecting organic iodine, to have organic iodine collected with efficiency of 98% or more. Likewise, room temperature molten salt, surfactant, quaternary salt, or correlation transfer catalyst is suitably used as the organic iodine remover 2, to provide the same advantageous effects as ionic liquid. Additionally, the organic iodine remover 2 is a liquid remaining in a liquid phase even at a temperature of 200° C. or more, so that the organic iodine remover 2 stably remains in a liquid phase even in the event of an accident, to sufficiently collect organic iodine.
A type of a reactor is not particularly limited in the present embodiment. The reactors include various types such as a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR), an Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR), and a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR). Ionic liquid contaminated by radioactive materials may be treated and reprocessed using a method such as one disclosed in Japanese Translation of PCT International Application Publication No. 2003-507185 A.
The third embodiment allows for a mode having the organic iodine remover 2 within the filtered containment venting tank 1, and having the alkalizing agent 3 within the first storage container 14a, as shown in
In the third embodiment, the first inlet valve 16a is opened in the event of venting at a timing before the separation valves 5 and 6 are opened. In this manner, the organic iodine remover 2 and alkalizing agent 3 are present in the filtered containment venting tank 1, just before steam is introduced from the containment 33 into the filtered containment venting system 30. Under the circumstances, the filtered containment venting system 30 has then steam containing radioactive materials introduced into the filtered containment venting tank 1 and condensed to generate the scrubbing water 13 (not shown in
The fourth embodiment may have a mode (i) of having the organic iodine remover 2 and alkalizing agent 3 in the filtered containment venting tank 1 and having the chemical solution 4 in the first storage container 14a. In this mode, the alkalizing agent 3 may be either solid or liquid (
In the fourth embodiment, the first inlet valve 16a is opened in the event of venting at a timing before the separation valves 5 and 6 are opened, as in the third embodiment. In this manner, the organic iodine remover 2, chemical solution 4, and alkalizing agent 3 are stored in the filtered containment venting tank 1, just before steam is introduced from the containment 33 into the filtered containment venting system 30. Under the circumstances, the filtered containment venting system 30 then has steam containing radioactive materials introduced into the filtered containment venting tank 1 and condensed to generate the scrubbing water 13 (not shown in
The chemical solution 4 is a basic compound having no action of buffering a pH value and works as a reducing agent. The chemical solution 4 may be replaced by a mixture of the chemical solution 4 and alkalizing agent 3. The chemical solution 4 includes a hydroxide such as NaOH, KOH, NH2OH, and N2H5OH and a compound of nitrogen and sulfur such as (NH4)2S, H2NC2H4SH, and acts to enhance performance of collecting iodine.
Note that the filtered containment venting tank 1 is connected with the first storage container 14a via the first inlet pipe 15a, as in the third embodiment. The first inlet valve 16a is provided in the first inlet pipe 15a. The filtered containment venting tank 1 is connected with the second storage container 14b via the second inlet pipe 15b. The second inlet valve 16b is provided in the second inlet pipe 15b. That is, the sixth embodiment has the first storage container 14a and second storage container 14b individually connected via the respective inlet valves 16 (particularly, the first inlet valve 16a and second inlet valve 16b) with the filtered containment venting tank 1. In this manner, the first inlet valve 16a and second inlet valve 16b are suitably opened in the event of venting to individually introduce the alkalizing agent 3 stored in the first storage container 14a and the chemical solution 4 stored in the second storage container 14b into the filtered containment venting tank 1.
The sixth embodiment has each of the filtered containment venting tank 1, first storage container 14a, and second storage container 14b storing one selected only once from a group consisting of the organic iodine remover 2, alkalizing agent 3, and chemical solution 4.
The filtered containment venting system 30 according to the seventh embodiment has a simple structure, as compared with a mode of having the first storage container 14a outside the filtered containment venting tank 1 and having the alkalizing agent 3 within the first storage container 14a, as with the filtered containment venting system 30 according to the third embodiment. In the event of venting, steam is introduced into the filtered containment venting tank 1 and condensed as the scrubbing water 13, to have liquid level raised to dissolve the alkalizing agent 3 in liquid. Accordingly, the filtered containment venting system 30 according to the seventh embodiment is free from operation of opening the first inlet valve 16a (introduction work), as compared with the filtered containment venting system 30 according to the third embodiment. This allows the filtered containment venting system 30 according to the seventh embodiment to be readily operated yet to reliably remove organic iodine by the organic iodine remover 2 and collect inorganic iodine by the scrubbing water 13.
Next, a description is given of a principle of action of the filtered containment venting system 30 according to the seventh embodiment, with reference to
Additionally, the present embodiment allows the chemical solution 4 to be provided in the mesh container 17 or a mixture of the alkalizing agent 3 and the chemical solution 4 to be provided in the mesh container 17 (none of these modes are shown in
Hereinabove, the filtered containment venting system according to the present invention has been described in detail, through embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments as described above and includes various modifications. For example, the embodiments have been described in detail to illustrate the present invention, but are not limited to those having all components as described above. A configuration of an embodiment may partly be replaced with a configuration of another embodiment, and a configuration of an embodiment may be added with a configuration of another embodiment. A configuration of the embodiments may partly be deleted or added/replaced with another configuration.
For example,
In addition, an embodiment may include a scrubbing-water container connected via an inlet pipe and an inlet valve (none of them are shown), provided in the inlet pipe, with the filtered containment venting tank 1, even though not shown, wherein the scrubbing-water container stores the scrubbing water 13. In this manner, the filtered containment venting system 30 allows for swiftly introducing the scrubbing water 13 into the filtered containment venting tank 1, in the event of venting, to prepare for collecting inorganic iodine.
