Design and development of the HECA filtration system and its application in engineered-safety-feature (ESF) atmosphere cleanup systems
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4139434
This report describes the design, development, fabrication, and testing of an Engineered-Safety-Feature (ESF) System incorporating a HECA charcoal adsorber to meet the requirements of the AEC Regulatory Guide 1.52. The design criteria, component selection, design innovations, and testing are covered in sufficient detail to convey all salient features to those familiar with this particular field of engineering. Emphasis is placed upon describing and substantiating the design of the charcoal adsorber section which exhibits a high efficiency removal capability for elemental iodine and the radioactive organic compounds of iodine. In the limit, the charcoal adsorber efficiency approaches the efficiency of the charcoal itself. This concept was realized by eliminating known or predicted objectionable design, operational, and on-site maintenance features which have collectively contributed to system efficiency ratings considerably lower than those of the charcoal. Specific means by which CVI supplied ESF Systems (when specifically designed and built in accordance with this Topical Report) satisfy the requirements of the AEC Regulatory Guide 1.52 are discussed.
