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

Abstract Library of iodine reactions in containment (LIRIC) is a comprehensive mechanistic model for the chemical and mass transport behaviour of iodine in containment under postulated nuclear reactor accident conditions. The LIRIC model has successfully simulated the iodine behaviour in experiments performed under conditions relevant to post-accident containment, and some of the results have been published previously. This document describes the latest version of the model, LIRIC 3.2, and presents simulation results of a few integrated tests performed in the Radioiodine Test Facility.
