Sabrina Tietze has got PhD from Technical University of Denmark. Her research subject is iodine chemistry during severe nuclear accidents in light water nuclear reactors. Iodine is formed from damaged fuel and can react with various organic molecules released from cable – and paint plastics during a severe nuclear accident to form different organic iodines such as methyl iodide. Inorganic and organic iodines can be removed from containment gases in Swedish Venturi scrubbers whose efficiency is studied to be improved. New paint films are developed to react with gaseous iodine species to act as a passive iodine trap preventing the release of, to human’s harmful, I-131 species into the environment. . Journal of Nuclear Energy Science & Power Generation Technology is one of her journals that she contributed.
