The effectiveness and corrosion characteristics of Turco 4512-A, an inhibited phosphoric acid, are being evaluated for N-Reactor primary system carbon steel decontamination by in-reactor decontamination tests, full scale component evaluations, and laboratory corrosion tests. To date these tests have showed that the decontamination procedure is effective for carbon steel decontamination and safe for all primary system materials that will be contacted by the solution. A few materials, namely, 17-4 pH SS, 416 SS, 420 SS, and Easy-Flo 45 braze alloy have not yet been completely tested. Results of their performance will be reported prior to full reactor decontamination.
