Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

The emission of radioactive 137Cs with fl ue 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.
