Corrosion and Activity Build-Up in a Power Reactor
Journal Article

· Industrial and Engineering Chemistry
The corrosion rate, crud film, and activity build-up were studied for the coolant system of the Army Reactor (SM1). Descaled corrosion of the coupons in the primary coolant side stream agreed with literature values. High crud levels followed high oxygen concentration in the primary coolant. The film was found to thicken at a decreasing rate, but its radioactivity grew at an increasing rate. To prevent this activity build-up, inhibiting redeposition of suspended material from the coolant appeared to be more promising than increasing the purification rate. (M.C.G.)
