Abstract

The SR1 test in the COMEDIE loop has permitted to demonstrate particularly the device operation reliability with a fuel loading. The post-irradiation examinations have pointed out the good filter efficiency and have enabled to determine the deposition profiles either for the activation products (e.g.: ⁵¹Cr, ⁶⁰Co) or for the fission products (e.g.: ^110mAg, ¹³¹I, ¹³⁴Cs, ¹³⁷Cs).
