LIQUID METAL FUEL REACTOR EXPERIMENT--INVESTIGATION OF PRECLEANING AND DECONTAMINATION METHODS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4146331
>In the Experimental Liquid -Metal Fuel Reactor (LMFRE), the steei surface exposed to the fuel solution must be cleaned prior to service, and radioactive contaminants must be removed from the svstem after service. To determine effective procedures, Croloy 2-1/4 specimens containmng an artmfically induced oxide scale were treated with various solvents, afterwhich the corrosion rates were determined. In addition, bismuth solubility in various solvents w;is determined, and fission product and corrosion product solubility was anvestiguted. (auth)
