The key experimental and computational studies of the emission of long-lived radioactive fission products and actinides from uranium dioxide irradiated in BN-600 into sodium and the gas phase in the range 150–800°C, performed on the experimental bench at the Leipunskii Institute of Physics and Power Engineering, are presented. The results of measurements of the properties of aerosols of certain radioactive fission products formed upon heating of irradiated nuclear fuel in sodium are presented. The experimental results are of interest for evaluating the radiation impact of reactor facilities on workers and the public during beyond design basis accidents.
