OPERATION OF THE PIQUA OMR DEGASIFICATION SYSTEM PROTOTYPE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4146344
A quarter-scale prototype of the Piqua OMR degasification system was designed, constructed. and operated. Results of operation indicate that the proposed system will be satisfactory to meet degasification requirements previously established for the Piqua reactor. These requirements are to remove pyrolytic and radiolytic gases and 8 lbs/hr of H/sub 2/O from the organic coolant: maintaining the H/sub 2/O concentration at or below 200 ppm. An experimental evaluation of the Piqua pressure control scheme was conducted; it showed that reactor pressure could be controlled within about 2 psi under normal operating conditions. (auth)
