LIRIC 3.2 an updated model for iodine behaviour in the presence of organicimpurities

Library of iodine reactions in containment (LIRIC) is a comprehensive mecha nistic model for the chemical and mass transport behaviour of iodine in con tainment under postulated nuclear reactor accident conditions. The LIRIC mo del has successfully simulated the iodine behaviour in experiments performe d under conditions relevant to post-accident containment, and some of the r esults have been published previously. This document describes the latest v ersion of the model, LIRIC 3.2, and presents simulation results of a few in tegrated tests performed in the Radioiodine Test Facility.
