The Microbiology of Heavy Water in the HIFAR Reactor
Description:
The high flux research reactor HIFAR contains ten tons of heavy water which acts as moderator and primary coolant. Over an eighteen months period regular microbiological examinations have been carried out on samples of heavy water taken from various parts of the circuit. The heavy water circuit provides an interesting opportunity for the study of microorganisms because of the high isotopic purity (greater than 99.6 per cent.), and the high chemical purity of the heavy water in the reactor.
