During the PHEBUS-FP integral severe accidents simulation tests, gaseous iodine was detected in earlier stages of the simulated accident, coming from the experimental circuit modelling a reactor coolant system. One possible explanation is the existence of some kinetic limitations which promote the persistence of gaseous iodine at low temperature. This paper sums up some analytical and modelling works...
