Abstract
A process for oxidation of hydrogen in a containment of a nuclear reactor plant with the aid of finely distributed catalyst particles, includes spraying catalyst particles in the form of a solution or suspension inside or outside the containment. The sprayed solution or suspension is subsequently dried by heating inside or outside the containment to produce aerosols. The aerosols produced outside are introduced into the containment. A device for oxidation of hydrogen in a containment of a nuclear reactor plant with the aid of finely distributed catalyst particles includes a container for receiving catalyst particles in the form of a solution or suspension. A distributor configuration is connected to the container for spraying the solution or suspension inside or outside the containment. A heater dries the sprayed solution or suspension before the solution or suspension is released into the containment.
