Carbon-14 Release of Irradiated AGR Graphite

RWM wishes to commission a study to measure and further understand the release of carbon-14 from irradiated graphite under a range of relevant conditions. This will involve measurement of total carbon-14 release into the gas and aqueous phases during leaching in an appropriate solution, together with characterisation of the composition. Specifically, this study would investigate the release of carbon-14 from Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor (AGR) graphite and compare to the previous results obtained from WAGR, BEP0 and Magnox graphite. This will require an experimental programme that closely follows the methods and test durations previously studied for Magnox graphite to provide comparable result…
