==FISSION PRODUCT TRAP FOR SALT PIPE AND PUMP SHAFT SEALS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18157561 titled 'FISSION PRODUCT TRAP FOR SALT PIPE AND PUMP SHAFT SEALS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF

'''Simplified Explanation''': 

The patent application describes a fission product trap for a reactor system, such as for a pipe connection and/or a pump shaft, which includes a porous container with an absorbing material to collect fission products emitted from the system.

* The fission product trap includes a porous container mounted around the pipe connection and/or pump shaft.
* An absorbing material within the porous container collects fission products emitted from the system.
* An assembly surrounds the porous container, creating a volume around the pipe connection and/or pump shaft.

'''Key Features and Innovation''':

* Utilizes a porous container with an absorbing material to trap fission products.
* Designed to be mounted around pipe connections and pump shafts in a reactor system.
* Provides a containment solution for fission products emitted from the system.

'''Potential Applications''':

* Nuclear power plants
* Reactor systems
* Fission product containment

'''Problems Solved''':

* Containment of fission products emitted from reactor systems
* Preventing the release of harmful radioactive materials into the environment

'''Benefits''':

* Enhanced safety in reactor systems
* Minimization of environmental impact
* Improved containment of radioactive materials

'''Commercial Applications''':

Potential commercial applications include:

* Nuclear power plants
* Research reactors
* Nuclear waste storage facilities

'''Questions about Fission Product Trap''':

1. How does the absorbing material in the porous container trap fission products?
2. What are the specific benefits of using a fission product trap in a reactor system?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A fission product trap for a reactor system, such as for a pipe connection and/or a pump shaft of a pump of the reactor system, includes a porous container. The porous container may be mounted about the pipe connection and/or pump shaft and include an absorbing material contained therein. The absorbing material may be configured to collect fission products emitted from the pipe connection and/or the pump shaft. The fission product trap further includes an assembly encompassing the porous container and that defines a volume about the porous container and the pipe connection and/or the pump shaft.
