The Homogeneous Reactor Test is designed for maintenance to be performed while the parts of the reactor are partinlly or completely submerged in water to reduce radiation levels. Tools with long handles permit the operator, standing above the equipment, to disconnect flanged joints, air lines, electrical and instrument leads, etc., in a minimum time. The techniques and tools employed to accomplish these various operations and to minimize intermixing of the contaminated process fluids with the shielding water are described. Estimates of shutdown times and costs of tools and spare parts are presented also. (auth)
