ABSTRACT:
A method for removing cesium 137, iodine 131 and tritium from a liquid sodium reactor coolant. Hydrogen is introduced into the liquid sodium causing sodium hydride to precipitate in a cold trap. The cesium iodine and tritium isotopes are removed from the liquid sodium by coprecipitating as impurities in the sodium hydride.
