Shutdown and post-test examination plan for the small steam generator model (SSGM)

Description: A detailed working plan to terminate and to examine the Westinghouse duplex tube small steam generator model (SSGM) is defined and presented. Following completion of the current phase (DNB Corrosion Testing in Off-Normal Water Chemistry) of testing, the Advanced Reactors Division GPL-1/SWL-1 Loops will be shut down on both the water side and the sodium side. The SSGM will be cleaned prior to removal of the model from the test silo. During disassembly and following removal of the model to a diss… more

Corrosion studies in molten calcium chloride with chlorine

Description: This study is aimed at testing new materials for use in molten salt processing of plutonium. Because of the high corrosiveness of chlorine, present materials have a high rate of failure. Materials less subject to corrosion are needed to minimize costs resulting from rapid failure of sparge tubes, stirring apparatus, and crucibles; to reduce the quantity of plutonium-contaminated scrap; and to improve the purity of the plutonium product. The processing environment of molten CaCl{sub 2}--CaO salt… more
