SOx-NOx-Rox Box{trademark} flue gas clean-up demonstration. Final report

Description: Babcock and Wilcox`s (B and W) SOx-NOx-Rox Box{trademark} process effectively removes SOx, NOx and particulate (Rox) from flue gas generated from coal-fired boilers in a single unit operation, a high temperature baghouse. The SNRB technology utilizes dry sorbent injection upstream of the baghouse for removal of SOx and ammonia injection upstream of a zeolitic selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst incorporated in the baghouse to reduce NOx emissions. Because the SOx and NOx removal proces… more

Consolidated Edison Thorium Reactor Hot Exponential Experiment

Description: A series of exponential experiments were performed using Consolidated Edison Thorium Reactor oxide type fuel pins in a light water lattice. These experiments were performed in a new facility where measurements were made at temperatures up to 468 F. In addition, boric acid was added to the system in various concentrations. The main objective of these experiments was to obtain the change in material buckling for the system as operating conditions were changed from ambient temperature to high t… more

Corrosion Product Activity Distribution Across the Chemical Process System in the Consolidated Edison Thorium Reactor Plant

Description: A study has been performed to determine the corrosion product and water impurity activities in the CETR Chemical Process System. A simplified mathematical model is used to represent the physical situation; however, the magnitude of the activities, taken at the end of the core life to represent the most conservative case, is considered sufficiently accurate for engineering calculations.
