Preliminary Evaluation of Chlorine for Use as a Gas Cooled Reactor Safeguard

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

An evaluation of chlorine in a high-temperature gascooled graphite- moderated reactor as a safeguard to control u runawav oxidation reaction was made. Experiments were performed which demonstrated the ability of a small amount of chlorine in an air stream to reduce the oxidation rate of graphite. Chlorine appeared to inhibit graphite oxidation by blocking active sites on the surface. On the basis of this mechanism, a rate law was derived which was consistent with observed behavior. (C.J.G.)
