The release of the fission gases, xenon and krypton, from molten irradiated uranium was studied experimentally at total initial gas contents of 0.002–138 parts per million. At concentration levels anticipated in spent EBR-II fuels, over 99% of the xenon and krypton is expected to be removed from the molten metal.
