A shared-cost action on Organic Iodine Chemistry has been completed as part
of the CEC 4th Framework programme on Nuclear Fission Safety. Organisation
s from four EC countries are involved in an integrated programme of experim
ents and analysis to help clarify the phenomenology, and to increase confid
ence in the modelling of iodine behaviour in containment. The project is fo
cused on identifying the main routes for organic iodine formation, and prov
iding new experimental kinetic data which will be used to improve existing
models and to stimulate code development. (C) 2001 AEA Technology. Publishe
