Abstract: The gaseous radioactive waste processing systems in different types of reactor nuclear power plant were investigated. Influencing factors with the activated carbon absorption of noble gases and the feasibility of activated carbon performance test were then discussed. Dynamic absorption coefficient increases with the rise of system pressure and decreases with the rise of temperature and relative humidity. The influence of flow rate in a certain range, ratio of length and diameter, noble gas, CO2, Freon, methane concentration are neglectable. The sampling method may be used in performance test of carbon delay system.

Key words: gaseous radioactive waste processing, noble gases Xe, Kr, dynamic absorption coefficient
