Model calculations of radiolysis of seawater with iodide were carried out to predict effects of seawater constituents on iodine chemistry at the time of a severe accident. Through the calculations based on 
-radiolysis of solutions at ambient temperature, it was found that the production of molecular iodine (I
) was promoted by the addition of seawater constituents. Especially, Br
and HCO
had a large impact on its production. The production yields of radiolytic species were affected by the addition of I as well. It was also shown that the pH of seawater is an important parameter to determine radiolytic conditions of iodine. These results imply the potential that the injection of seawater has significant impact on iodine source term.

Seawater injection into the degraded core is one of the measures of accident management as it has been performed at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The constituents of seawater deeply relates to the iodine chemistry in the water pool of the suppression chamber, which indicates that it is important to assess their effect on the source term in a severe accident. In the present study, by employing a four-component seawater (SW) model we try to simulate the I
molecules yielding in aqueous solution as the function of time, based on several datasets about chemical reaction kinetics and to evaluate its fraction of the initial inventory released from the solution to gas phase. The amount of I molecule in gas phase was in proportion as the SW mixing ratio. The combination of bromide and hydrogen-carbonate anions considerably contributes to the behavior of the history of producing I gas. The oxygen molecules solved from air drastically reduced yielding I gas by catalytically consuming hydroxyl radicals, while the I gas increased by the carbon dioxide gas contained in air. The effects of SW and carbon dioxide gas are recommended to be considered in the quantitative discussion about I gas released from aqueous solution.
