REDUCTION OF 137Cs EMISSION INTO THE ATMOSPHERE ON COMBUSTION OF A RADIONUCLIDE-CONTAMINATED SOLID FUEL UNDER CONDITIONS INVOLVING EXCITATION OF THERMOACOUSTIC SELF-OSCILLATIONS AND GAS-DYNAMICAL PULSATIONS

The emission of radioactive ¹³⁷Cs with flue gases in various regimes of combustion of radionuclide-contaminated solid fuels in a wide temperature interval has been investigated. The fl ame temperature decreased on the onset of vibrating combustion. A lowering in the ¹³⁷Cs emission under conditions of vibrating and intermittent combustion in comparison with the emission under conditions of diffusion combustion has been obtained.
