DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4064732· OSTI ID:4064732

For the purpose of evaluating the compatibility of graphite and INOR-8 in a dynamic fluoride fuel medium, INOR-8 Forced Convection Loop No. 9354-5 was operated 8850 hr. The loop operated at maximum temperature of 1300 deg F and circulated a fluoride fuel of the system LiF--BeF/sub 2/-- UF/sub 4/. Post-test examinations of the graphite and loop components revealed no apparent corrosion or carburization problems. (auth)
